The State Fair of Texas is the largest state fair in the country
and the second largest fair in the world!
Lore's all smiles at the surfing thingy...
...the new sky ride, still working myself up to it...
...watch out for the dog catcher!
..little side shows like this are easy to miss,
so keep your eyes open!
First glimpse of the new Tex...
...the Chinese lantern thing is back...
...check out the giant ice cream cone by the Old Mill...
There's the new and "improved" Bix Tex!
Tex's new custom made boots!
Tex's hat looks more like a farmer's hat than a cowboy hat.
Carousel horses...
...this thing is TALL!
A trip down the midway...
...first one to the top wins!
below the Texas Star...
...another big winner!
75 years of Superman exhibit in the foreign car building...
...a plastic boat!
no kidding! this thing has sailed from the U.S. to Australia & back!
...with these living quarters!
I've heard of a log cabin, but a cabin that's a log?!
The Cotton Bowl has some new façade detailing.
Puppies!
How 'bout a parade?
With beauty queens!...
...floats!...
...people on stilts!...
...clowns!...
..and Shriners!
...Don't forget to get something fried!
An of course cap off the day with a concert.
This year the fabulous Asleep at the Wheel paid us the honor of opening up the Fair...
Ray Benson and crew always put on a great Western Swing show!
The Fair is open through October 20th!
Come on by and get a corny dog!
