The minute people walk in to the lavish set-up, hearts seem to be lightened and smiles almost immediately appear on their faces. The smell of popcorn and chicken and cotton candy lingers in the air, and screams of excitement from the people on rides fill the ears of all. The lights, the people, the opportunity to eat anything fried from peach cobbler and Oreos, to jellybeans and cheesecake, work together to create an atmosphere that welcomes friends and families for hours upon hours.
One of the coolest things we did when we were there was ride the Texas Star farris wheel. The sight of the city of Dallas at night was amazing, and even thought the cost is fourteen tickets for two times around, the fun and beauty was definitely worth it.
If any of you get the chance, I highly recommend a trip to this famous park. It's a great time with friends or family, and it justifies eating anything unhealthy, at least for a day.

Wow, so many memories at the state fair being from Texas it’s a tradition sense a little kid; I literally know the fair like the back of my hand. Each school district gets to have their own day off just to go to the fair and have a great time with people from your town, and even met the people that you don’t know. For those who are from out of state definitely missed out if they didn’t go to the fair this year but remember there’s always next!
I went with an old friend to the fair last week and we rode the sky ride--the one that goes above the Midway. That was the best part--a fast way to get to the exit and bypass the crowds and tempting last-minute sweets.
We had the famous fried smores, but weren't brave enough to try the fried peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
