Wednesday Wow - State Fair of Texas time

 Gorgeous Friday 10/5/18 at the great State Fair of Texas - 2018.  Ray and I began on the big Ferris wheel.  Whee!!!
 Auto show shiny
 Football rivalry - The Texas Longhorns vs Oklahoma  Sooners coming up that Saturday
 Yes, we ate our Fletcher's corny dogs. That's tradition
Just took a picture of one of the stands featuring a new fried concoction.  I went back to last year's winner - Fat Smooth - a fried beignet. It did not disappoint.

11 am to 7 pm - over 10K steps, and maybe 10K calories.  That's the Wednesday Wow - Texas does it up BIG

  1. Looks like a lot of fun... gorgeous weather, too! (I reckon that's why they don't hold these fairs in the middle of the summer, eh?) The pic of you as a corn dog is adorable, but I'm gotta say, I sure hope the sign in that last pictures means they sell both cotton candy and tacos, and not cotton candy tacos... :)
