County condemns Cow Palace

The County Commission last month agreed that the Cow Palace at the Sumter County Fairgrounds in Webster is no longer functional and will be destroyed.
The board decided not to proceed with plans to spend $839,038 to refurbish the aging building and also agreed to immediately condemn the facility so that it can no longer be used.
Their decision was made following considerable discussion of the topic on a motion by County Commission Doug Gilpin who said the board shouldn’t spend almost $1 million to bring the 60-year-old structure up to code.
