State Fair of Texas is Here

The State Fair of Texas is in full swing. We took J, my son to the state fair for the first time last year. The smells of all the different fried foods meet you at the gate. We were crazy people and went to the fair during the Texas vs. OU game last year. There was hardly any room to walk and when it took more than an hour to get on the dart we knew we had chosen the wrong day to go to the fair.

Dispite all the crowds it was a fun time, and the fair is a required event for any Texas family. The car show and the funnel cake are the best parts of the fair for my family. J loved climbing in the cars, and we loved sitting in the driver's seat of some of our dream cars.

Tip: Avoid the days when there is a football game. There will be less people, lines are shorter, and getting around the park is a breeze.

Enjoy the State Fair of Texas this year. It runs from September 24 to October 17. Do you have any State Fair stories that you would like to share?
