Barn not going down without a fight

Valley High School is considering whether or not to tear down a barn on school property, and just two weeks ago it seemed like a forgone conclusion after a demolition company was hired. But now there is a broader effort to save the barn, which according to one supporter, looks a whole lot like West Des Moines used to look and history should be preserved. The barn is over 100 years old. About 50 people attended a town hall meeting last night in support of saving the barn. District officials say they'll decide the barn's fate by March 1st.
