You know Big Tex was originally a big Santa 🎅 built by the Ag class of Kerens, Tx...east of Corsicana...he became hard to maintain so they sold Santa to the State Fair people...and he became Big Tex

After he was sold to the Fair, Jack Bridges, a local Dallas artist, reimagined him into a big cowboy to welcome all visitors to the fair.

I have to walk through and look at all the crafts in the Creative Arts building. I had something on display a few years ago. It was a Six Flags Over Texas oil derrick made out of food skewers.

MN has the 2nd largest state fair, Nation of Texas is 1st. This is a point of contention for some here in Minnesota and as a Texan currently living here, that makes me happy 😁

4 years eating clean whole foods, that Corny Dog at the beginning put me into a trance😵💫 Very good Video Thanx. I'm so into nutrition that fried butter freaked me out😮 Stay healthy America.😵💫 I only weigh 99 pounds if I go off the deep end 1 deep fried corny dog will be the end🤤 I'm getting dizzy I can almost smell all that dopamine in the air of the fair 😃I fried my brain on cannabis not junk food so I know addiction and the rush you get. Stay healthy folks

This was almost a decade ago, judging by when the Big Tex museum was in the Hall Of State building. Great coverage though. I have a 360 video walkthrough of the Fair from a year or two ago on my channel. It's pretty cool because you can move the view around and look in whichever direction you want as it plays.

8 museums? When I went to the Texas State Fair, 3 of them were closed because of the fair. I also find it funny that the "Hall of varied industries" only has 1 industry, cars. I recommend you try the Minnesota State Fair. It's 322 acres and doesn't include large amounts of unused land. More agriculture, more industry, more entertainment, more food. The only thing it has less of is days it's open. I will concede that Fletcher's corn dogs are better than any I can get at the Minnesota State Fair.
