We had fun at the Great State Fair of Texas!

Here's some of what we saw on Wednesday. (No, I didn't take these pictures--they are representative, though. I just hate to wag a camera around the fair!)

Maybe the biggest car show in Texas!

We saw a $100,000 pickup truck!

Quilts, photos, pickles and cooking demonstrations.

We got to sample bison burgers. Yum!

All topped off with "fair food"!


A very good day! A very good day, indeed!

I was at the Texas state fair about 20 years ago and loved it. I took a friend from New York with me, and she was stunned at the livestock. I remember her saying "THAT's a COW???".

Pssst...
That's a bull.

Bull, cow. Whatever.

They were judging both sexes!

(Good catch, Matt! Though it is, ahem, kind of *obvious* huh?)
