The 2010 Texas State Fair
The Texas State Fair starts this weekend here in Dallas, Texas. It’s always a big to-do around here — definitely one of the perks of living in North Texas. It’s always a treat to go down and see Big Tex. To get you in the mood for this year’s fair, here are some pics from my 2010 visit:
Big Tex
Cable Cars

It was incredibly crowded when we went. The Texas Tech vs. Baylor game had just gotten out, and there were a lot of Red Raiders wandering around.
Car Show

Evidently, Ford builds robots now, too. This one just stood there doing nothing, though. No comment.
Ferris Wheel

The Texas Star ferris wheel, the tallest in North America.

The Dallas Skyline from atop the Texas Star. I never tire of looking at this view. Dallas has one of the best skylines in the world.
