I don't remember that specifically, but I do recall lots of side shows with carnies trying to lure you in. I never had the guts to try.
As a young lad, I remember looking up in awe at the first Big Tex. I also remember covering the entire fair grounds from one end to the other and back several times. Now, if I can get from the front gate to the rear and back, I think I've run a marathon.
Does anyone remember the Dickies booth? They gave out numbers you wore on your shirt and, if you found someone with your member, you both won a pair of pants. I recall wearing my ugly blue Dickies to school with pride.
I want to try the fried Thanksgiving dinner this year. I don't know what exhibits are there yet. Dog shows are fun to watch (I love dogs), and people watching is at its finest. Afterwards, there is The Lion King at the musicals.
There are lots of good memories to be had at the State Fair. Go if you can. There is something for everyone (even parking hassles), but you can take DART to the front gate.
