AgriLife event feed shows no listing for a 2026 Grayson County Hay Show

A GvilleTX Newsroom check of Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service's public District 4 event feed, filtered for hay events, returned no Grayson County hay show. The check could not confirm four claims about a 2026 Grayson County Hay Show: an Oct. 22 date, a 5:30 p.m. start, the Texoma Exposition and Livestock Show Grounds in Denison as the site, and AgriLife as the presenter. Readers looking for a 2026 hay show date in Grayson County will not find one in that feed.

The result covers only what the feed carried when the newsroom ran the query, which combined the calendar's District 4 tag with a hay search term. A missing listing is not a record that a show was canceled, and it is not a record that none is planned.

The office at the center of those claims is documented. The AgriLife personnel directory lists the Grayson County office as an official unit of the Extension Service, and it names Chad Cummings as the county extension agent for agriculture and natural resources.

Grayson County Commissioners Court minutes state that the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Office hosted the Grayson County Hay Show on Oct. 16, 2025, from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Mayor's Arena in Denison. Minutes from the court's Oct. 14, 2025, meeting record the same hours at the same arena. The 5:30 p.m. start time in the 2026 claims matches the start hour those minutes give for 2025. The reviewed minutes do not describe the 2025 event as a second annual show, and they are the most recent documentation the newsroom located for a Grayson County hay show.

The arena named in the minutes belongs to the Texoma Exposition & Livestock complex. The complex's contact page gives the address as 770 R.C. Vaughan Rd. in Denison's Loy Park and lists a Mayor Arena as an enclosed facility available to rent. The newsroom found no record of a 2026 booking in the material it reviewed.

AgriLife's official calendar lists a 2026 hay show in another county. The entry for the McLennan County Hay Show describes recognition for county forage entries, with an education program and a dinner. No Grayson County entry of that kind appeared on the calendar during the newsroom's search.

Producers who want entry rules or a confirmed 2026 date can contact the Grayson County Extension office, where Cummings is the listed agriculture and natural resources agent. GvilleTX Newsroom will report a date, a start time and a venue once one appears in AgriLife's public calendar or in Grayson County records.
