Hiya! Anyway...the State Fair of Texas started today here in Dallas. It is the largest state fair in the country with an attendance of over 3 million people. It goes until October 23.

Anyone planning on going to this in the area?

I know it sounds nerdy but it will be cool to have a day to go and meet other SL people.

Corny Dogs! Blasphemy! They're Pronto Pups!

I used to live in Texas during the 80's, and Dallas for part of that time, so I went 2 years in a row to the fair.

Good times, and I was incredulous to see one bigger than the one here in my home state, Minnesota. We have gotten around 2 million attendees some years, although this year's was down a bit due to inclement weather for much of it's duration.

Oh well, always next year!

Have fun y'all!

ReallyRick, Austin here!

Had the Austin City Limits Fest not happened just last weekend, I would *so* be there. I have been in Texas for six years now and, unfortunately, have not made it to Dallas for the State Fair.

Count me in for next year, though!

For those who will be attending, some helpful items to bring:

1. The phone number of a good cardiologist

2. A camera so ReallyRick can post pictures!

Right on! Austin roools.

I have been in Austin about the same amount of time, and nope, haven't been to the fair. Sounds fun!
