The State Fair of Texas is famous, famous at least for North Texans. We pride ourselves in this annual event because it provides scary rides, beastly livestock and an awesome car show.
Most North Texans Do no think think it is convenient to go to the fair. I was one of them. I have many friends who are excited every fall and make plans to visit. I always rolled my eyes at them because there was no way I was parking miles away, walking and paying to do so.
I didn't realize that in 2010 the Dallas Area Rapid Transit opened its Fair Park location that drops passengers off right at the gate. I didn't realize that almost every single day there is a special on admission, whether it be a Dr. Pepper can or wearing Dickie's. I didn't realize that most natives feel the same way as I do, so if you actually decide to go, there isn't really anyone there!
I entered on the western edge of the Fair, almost directly to the Midway. Smells of fried meats and sugar filled the air and blue and white coupon stands greet entering fairgoers. It is magical to hear kids running around and experiencing the fair with their parents, transitioning from farm animals to nauseating rides.
I will never again recommend that people avoid this attraction because it exemplifies Texas. Everything is bigger, everything is overdone and everything feels like Texas
