Howdy Folks! Those famous words come from "Big Tex" every year at the State Fair of Texas. This year, the State Fair of Texas will run from September 28-October 21, 2012. The Fair is the single largest event at Fair Park in Dallas, TX each year. People come from far & wide to visit the State Fair each year for the food, music, midway games and rides, and of course the Texas/OU football game.
If you want to see great musicians, come to the main stage. Performances this year include Kevin Costner & Modern West (who knew he was even in a band?), Uncle Kracker, Elle Varner, Ruthie Foster, Kevin Fowler, Kansas, The Commodores, Kellie Pickler, and more.
If you would rather sample the fair food, make sure you try the 2012 Big Tex Choice Award Winners -- 2012 Best Taste: Deep Fried Jambalaya; and the 2012 Most Creative: Fried Bacon Cinnamon Roll. Of course, no trip to the State Fair is complete without eating a Fletcher’s Corny Dog. My family always makes sure to get a corny dog, a turkey leg, and a barrel root beer….once we have those, anything else is a bonus!
Plan to bring the family and spend the day enjoying the rides and games on the Midway, the music and food, checking out the2013 model new cars, and the shopping throughout the Fair. Don’t forget to spend some time visiting the museums and shows like the BMX Bike Stunt Show or Birds of the World show. I am definitely planning to check out the Chinese Lantern Festival and the Girl Scouts 100th Anniversary display.
It all starts this weekend. For more details on planning your trip to the State Fair visit www.bigtex.com
