Big Tex is back... but to me he was never gone. Some of my fellow Texas Instruments New College Grads went to to the Texas State Fair a couple weeks ago.
The fair was quite awesome despite the fact that I was unable to have "Deep Fried Thanksgiving," and instead opted for red velvet funnel cakes (the "healthy" alternative?). We played bumper cars, saw the bird show which features untethered birds, and met some cows, ducks, chickens, rabbits, pigs, dogs and cats.
There was also a master pumpkin carver/sculptor as well as lots of other random things happening all around the fairgrounds.
