☀️ SUMMER CLASSIC SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT: GCH Concrete ☀️
We have some REALLY good people behind Arrow CS Productions, and GCH Concrete is absolutely one of them! ❤️

GCH Concrete is a locally owned and family operated company serving Granbury, Glen Rose and the surrounding areas, and if there's one thing we love about working with them, it's that they are just GOOD, hardworking people.

They've built their business on hard work, taking care of their customers and being part of the communities they serve. From residential pours to commercial and industrial projects, this is a crew that isn't afraid to WORK, and we have so much respect for that!

They also continue to turn around and support things happening right here in our community, including our crazy barrel racing adventures. 🤪🐴

GCH was a huge supporter of our 10th Annual Expo Summer Classic, and having a local, family-owned company believe in what we're doing means SO much to us.

So if you've got a concrete project coming up, big OR small, remember the people you see supporting your community and your barrel races! Give GCH Concrete a call and let them take care of you.

We are VERY thankful to have this family in our corner and even more thankful to call them friends. ❤️

Thank you GCH Concrete for working hard, supporting local and continuing to support Arrow CS Productions and our contestants!

BREAKING: Large Grass Fire Burning Near Tolar Railroad Tracks *UPDATED*

August 25th, 2026AD

TOLAR — A large grass fire is burning Tuesday afternoon near the railroad tracks on the Granbury side of Tolar.

Multiple people familiar with the scene told Hood County Express the fire is between Tolar and Granbury, not between Tolar and Bluff Dale as initially reported. Updated information places the fire near the railroad tracks coming into Tolar, in the area before Meyers and closer to Loop 567.

A photograph provided to HCE shows a large column of dark smoke rising from the area.

Hood County Express is continuing to seek confirmed information on the fire’s size, response and any impacts to nearby roads or property.

This is a developing story and will be updated as additional information is confirmed.
