to the 2007 Texas State Fair. Monday was Fair Day for most of the local school districts. Instead of a full week of Fall Break the new academic schedule only has a quick break. Unfortunately almost every school district chose the same day. Then they give all the kids free fair tickets that are good any weekday after that day off so the only real choice is to go on that day with everybody else.
Big Tex is the Fair mascot and the world's largest cowboy. He's 55 years old now. In his younger days he was Santa Claus. Who says you can only have one career?
The food was good as always. This year's winner for the most creative new fried food was "Fried Latte", I think best taste went to "Fried Frito Chili Pie". We stuck with the traditional fried foods: chicken on a stick, corny dogs, etc.
The kids rode only a few rides but made a point of hitting the bubble house, the glass house and the haunted house (all variations of fun houses). Sheela escorted Sunil on a child's airplane ride rather than join Anna and Kristina on the roller coasters.
We rode the skyway tram over the Midway for some stellar views of the chaos below. The extra attraction this day was a concert by the boy band "The Jonas Brothers". Two hundred girls had to be treated for heat exhaustion as a result of the humidity, heat and the crush.
