W’boro brings home ribbons, awards
The annual Texoma Exposition & Livestock Show (TELS) ended last Friday with a Premium Sale auction that raised more than $500,000 for area students.
Over the course of six days, Western Grayson County agricultural students were judged in several categories ranging from AGRobotics and AG Mechanics to livestock and floriculture.
