The Texas State Fair is here and we are heading there for some deep-fried fun! This will be our first year visiting the Texas State Fair and we are pretty excited as we keep seeing pictures of “BIG TEX” the welcoming giant Texan that is stands over 52 feet tall and wears a size 70 cowboy boot and we keep hearing about how the state fair is also known as the “Fried Food Capital of Texas”.
