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!
