BIG TEX Pt.2

Big Tex the 55 ft tall statue and iconic symbol of the state fair of Texas has been greeting guest since 1952. The State Fair of Texas is the largest State Fair in America with an estimated annual guest count of around 3,000,000, no wonder Big Tex has such a loyal following, he even has his own website BigTex.com. On October 19, 2012 the very last weekend of the Fair, Big Tex was destroyed by an electoral fire that started in his jaw; by the way Big Tex greets the guest with this booming baritone voice.  SRO Associates and Texas Scenic were commissioned to create the new and improved Big Tex that made his first public appearance on September 26, 2013, thus the moniker Big Tex Pt.2, Big Tex 2.0, Big Tex Re-Loaded, Big Tex Dos, Big Tex Part Deux, etc.... Big Tex the marketing legend is now and always will be at his proper place every year at the main entrance of the State Fair of Texas at Dallas Fair Park. Can you imagine No corn dogs, No cotton candy, No deep fried junk foods, and No Big Tex, that would not be right? The Fair would not be the same with him; Big Tex is kind of the Fair.
