State Fair of Texas – Sept 26-Oct 19, 2008
Fair Park, South of Downtown Dallas
IGNITE YOUR SENSES!
Did you know the State Fair of Texas is the largest state fair in the United States based on attendance? Did you also know that it has been held at Fair Park since 1886? And did you know that it has the largest Ferris wheel in North America?
Last year we saw the re-introduction of a new ride, the Texas Skyway, a $5 Million sky gondola system taking fair goers on an aerial tour of Fair Park. There are 34 Art-Deco gondolas each capable of holding 8 passengers, covering 1,800 feet traveling 65 feet above the ground.
Of course the centerpiece of the Fair is the annual football game, shootout, red-river rivalry, Big Red-Crimson Orange match…yep, the Oklahoma-Texas football game played in the Cotton Bowl at Fair Park. Due to recent agreements between the Universities and the City of Dallas, the Red River Shootout is expected to continue at Fair Park through 2015. This year’s game will be on Saturday, October 11, 2008.
The State Fair of Texas is the only Fair in the country to include a full blown auto show. It includes over 300,000 square feet of new model vehicles, two buildings, a Truck Zone and a Test Drive Track. The State Fair has been the site for several international launches including the 2007 Chevy Tahoe, the 2007 Ford Sporttrac and the 2008 Chevy Silverado.
Fair officials are also offering an online digital edition of their show guide you may access by clicking here.

Well, it’s hot…correct that, it was hot last week at 100 degrees, now it’s over the top at 105 degrees for the next 3 days. Sounds like a good excuse to think cool thoughts while driving down to Dallas Market Hall for the Dallas Pool, Spa and Backyard Living Show.
We have no idea how big of a show this is, but anything involving water is a nice option these days. So if you’ve been thinking about getting a pool, a spa, or even a little duckie pond you might want to check this one out. Friday through Sunday only. Admission and Parking are free.
