SULPHUR, Okla. (KFOR) — In the days that follow Saturday’s deadly tornado, business owners are still uncovering what’s left of their businesses in historic downtown Sulphur. Billy Cook Harness & Saddle has been around for 70 years, and planted its roots in Oklahoma in the 90s.
The owner of the shop said after the tornado he saw photos of the damage, but seeing it in person from the ground makes it real.
“I’m just kind of in disbelief, but I understand better now the magnitude of it,” said Adam Trenk, the proprietor of Genuine Billy Cook Saddles.
Adam Trenk has a history with Billy Cook saddles.
“The saddles that my family rode were genuine, Billy Cook saddles that my grandfather had purchased for my father and my uncle in 1976, before i was born,” said Trenk.
He eventually got to meet Billy Cook before buying the company in 2019 after Cook passed away.
