Stonebriar Centre is right next to Plano in Frisco. It is a spanking-new huge shopping mall at the intersection of Preston Road and SH 121. It is big – over 1,600,000 square feet of shopping space with some other great features. In the bottom of the mall is a NHL size ice arena – a great way to cool down in the summer heat!
If you have younger children, there is a great traditional carousel, and a children’s play area which is great fun for them, and makes shopping more enjoyable. It is located upstairs right next to the food court. Foodwise there are also some good names like CPK or the Cheesecake Factory.
And of course there is a 24-screen AMC movie theater, as well, popular with all the family.
There are around 160 stores with some big names including Dick's Sporting Goods, Dillards, JCPenney, Macys, Nordstrom, Sears, J. Crew, Banana Republic, Gap, Abercrombie and Fitch and Forever 21.
The mall is open Monday through Saturday from 10:00am to 9:00pm, and on Sundays from 12:00pm to 6:00pm. Well worth checking out…

Annual State Fair
Just about 10 miles down the N. Central Expressway from Plano is the huge Texas state Fair held every September at Fair Park
Like everything in Texas, its really big - biggest state fair in the US, with about 3 million visitors over the three weeks that the fair runs. You can get to meet Big Tex - a fifty foot cowboy that greets everybody at the fair!
It has a full size auto show, with loads of exhibits, a truck zone and test-drive track. The auto section is well known in motoring circles, and several new model launches have been announced at the show such as the 2008 Ford Sporttrac.
Don’t miss the big annual college football game between Texas and Oklahoma, nicknamed the Red River Shootout – lots of excitement and thrills rooting for Texas there!
See you at the show!
