The flooding incident at the historic Groesbeck Journal building has moved the Journal to the temporary location of the Groesbeck Convention Center. Thank you to the City of Groesbeck for offering space during this challenging time.
The damage to the building's floors is significant, and the repairs will require both time and financial resources. It's heartening to see efforts underway to raise funds to support the restoration of this beloved landmark. Donations from community members can make a substantial difference in expediting the repair process and preserving a piece of Groesbeck's history. The fundraising initiatives such as the raffle for a cooler of drinks (tickets are available at the Journal) and a tee-shirt fundraiser hosted by Diamonds and Dust provide tangible ways for community members to support the cause.
By coming together and rallying around the historic Groesbeck Journal building, residents can ensure that this historic landmark continues to serve the community for years to come.

Whether they choose to vote at the Limestone County Courthouse or the Mexia Civic Center, every vote counts in this close race between Kendall Funderburk and Jody Goodman.
