Super sad day in Dallas. This morning, shortly after ten our beloved Big Tex went up in flames. For 60 years he welcomed visitors into the fairgrounds - with his tremendous smile, booming voice, and mammoth stature. Now, all that is left is a skeletal frame of our iconic cowboy. The images from the fire are incredibly heartbreaking and have left a huge hole in my Dallas heart. Even though The State Fair of Texas will remain open for its final weekend - the area around Big Tex will be closed, definitely dampening the frivolity of the fair. He will be missed like an old friend.
Every year I venture to the fair. And as always, I have such an amazing time. I am so happy that I was able to see Big Tex in all of his glory one last time. I know they will rebuild and he'll be bigger and better next year - but I'll miss the old Tex and his memorable style.
