Your not from Texas originally are you Khari? It's not the Texas Stae Fair. It's The State Fair of TEXAS.

They did it in 2015 and I think that was the only time I've seen it.

Demand was so great the vendor couldn't keep up with it.

Other than some weird fried foods that you can find at most Food Truck gatherings what is the attraction to the State Fair for Adults? Kids stuff like animals and 3rd Rate Carnival games and rides but I saw few things to interest an Adult. Please report back on your findings I would be interested.

But is it enough to just crave a smoked turkey leg? The Fair needs to bring back Fat Albert and the Snake Girl. I can't get interested until that happens.
