I recently attended the State Fair of Texas, something I hadn't done since I was about 8 years old. Being there surrounded by fun at every turn made me feel like a kid again. I don't think I even covered the full fair grounds, but I had an absolute blast. There are tons of attractions, snacks, drinks,and games and musical guests. I don't know about everyone else but the snacks at the State Fair are enough of a reason to convince me to go. Everyone especially Texans should find the time to attend this years State Fair of Texas. Go see all the fun it has to offer.
Ferris Wheel
It may not spin around a lot and it may take lots of stops to let the massive line board the ride, but the view from the top has got to be absolutely beautiful.
Big Tex
He is larger than life. He was almost burnt to death, so seeing him at all is pretty cool. But he talks and moves and he is fun to take pictures with.
Fried Everything
Fletcher's Corn Dogs, Fried Smores, Fried pumpkin pie, oreos, twinkies, cheesecakes, ice cream, beer. Literally anything can be fried these days. It's CRAZY.
Games
Normally I'm not a fan of games, because I feel like they are a rip off. But the State Fair must have some lucky attendees because I saw tons and tons of GIANT stuffed prizes. (PSA to all my AOII sisters, there are pandas on pandas on pandas at the fair)
Rides
So. Much. Fun. Fair rides are a thrill because they aren't rides like you usually see at amusement parks. Plus I feel like i'm in the movie grease with all the fun houses and the cute rides.
TAYLOR SWIFT EXHIBIT
UMM. Yes. You read that right. This years exclusive attraction is the Taylor Swift Experience exhibit complete with a merchandise stand and some of T-swizzles iconic outfits, and instruments. I'm not going to lie this was my absolute favorite part of the fair. I was tripping because her actual paper and written out song lyrics were there in glass cases. So calling all swifty fans if you aren't a fair goer this is your year to change.
Car Show/test driving Chevrolets
Another fun way too cool off from the heat is the car show or test driving some fancy brand spanking new Chevrolet vehicles. It's official I want a Chevy Malibu right now.
Live Stock
This was so fun for me. You should go to the live stock and petting zoo area. Even if you aren't a die hard FFA person. I love seeing the sweet little piggies and the long horns.
Music
I picked a good weekend to attend because I got a free Cody Johnson concert, There were TONS of people rushing towards the stage when his music began to play. But all free live music is a blast, so even if you missed out on CoJo you should still go!
The Fair is something that only comes around once a year but the memories you get from it will last a lifetime. Yay for the State Fair of Texas. I hope all yall Texans take a day off to enjoy yourself.
