How could I do a travel blog in Texas and not include the biggest Texan of them all?
Big Tex made his comeback this year after a horrific fire during the 2012 fair. I don’t know about you, but watching videos of Big Tex burning was like watching a family member in a car accident.
When I was a kid growing up in the Dallas area, we received free fair tickets at school and districts were closed on opening day for Fair Day. Big Tex was just as much an icon to me as fireworks on the 4th of July or turkey on Thanksgiving.
Don’t worry, Big Tex is back!
I recruited my my friend (and WFAA photojournalist) Taylor and uncle (and family fair expert) Jeff to help me with lots of fair food, fun and photography.
