The State Fair of Texas opens tomorrow...

In addition to the traditional Fletcher's Corny Dog, invented at the Texas State Fair, they have a whole lot of new foods this year. I haven't been in years, but I'm going to try and make it this year.

Fairs are always a good time really. Last get together I went to was an indigenous POW WOW about 3 years ago that was awesome. Great foods and I picked up a wrist ban that I still wear. The dancing was the focus and it didn't disappoint.

I think my little farm town is having their annual Wine Fest this weekend.
More power to 'em. I went to more Wine Fests when I didn't live here

If I didn’t have other plans I’d fly down and go with you! I imagine the Texas State Fair is a hoot!

We don’t really do fairs here, sigh…

Eat a corndog for me!

Curiosity had me look up the Texas State Fair. Wish I was going! Had a look at some of the food and there are some interesting things on offer - but this took my fancy!

I looked at the website and thought I could eat myself into a delirious food coma without even trying hard.

I am so enthused about the Texas State Fair I have just suggested to my friend in Tucson that we meet up next year! (One of the things that I have always wanted to do is see a live rodeo) Unfortunately she is not so interested in such things - however, it is a relatively short hop on the plane for her, so you never know!

They sell beer and wine, too, so you can get your money's worth out of the ambulance charges.

My ex-wife and I went every year, and she had to have a Fletcher's corny dog with mustard. It was an absolute tradition, and I had one with her. I liked it, but was not passionate about it.
