The Sensodyne exhibit at the 2015 State Fair of Texas was quite an experience. First, you line up for two free pretty good sized trial boxes of Sensodyne and Pronamel toothpaste. Next, they hand you a toothbrush with your choice of toothpaste and a brand new toothbrush holder. They also hand you a cup for […]

I enjoyed hearing Suzi and Rick perform in the Food and Fiber Pavilion at the 2015 State Fair of Texas. I checked out their Facebook page, and I am excited to see that they sometimes perform at a restaurant not too far from our home. I will be looking forward to our next opportunity to […]

The Pig Races at the 2015 State Fair of Texas were similar to past years. I enjoyed the pig races, but they were predictable. The Pig Races take place in the Pan-Am Arena. Before the race, four cheerleaders are chosen from the children in the crowd and given pom poms and instructions on how to […]

The Big Texas Music Exhibit at the Hall of State did not disappoint. It was big. I learned a lot. I enjoyed seeing historical information and photos of Texas musicians, including some local bands that I was familiar with. There was a cute photo opportunity where they had a backdrop of famous musicians with real […]

I enjoyed the performance of The Os at the 2015 State Fair of Texas. It was neat seeing them playing the guitar, harmonica, drum, and tambourine at the same time. They had foot pedals that allowed them to play percussion at the same time as their other instruments. Very impressive! Their moments in between songs were […]

I finally rode the Texas Skyway this year at the State Fair of Texas. It was enjoyable. The ride took longer than I expected, which is nice. It would have been nice to ride it again, though. I captured some nice photos and video on the Saturday of the 2015 TX OU football game. Here's […]

I enjoy these swings at the State Fair of Texas. This year, I didn't try to ride them. It really is fun.  

On the Saturday of the 2015 TX OU Red River Rivalry football game, I walked around the midway to take photos of the crowds. It was a beautiful bright day, and the midway held some colorful scenes.

When you visit the Texas Music Exhibit in the Hall of State, I hope that the magical opening to the Recharge Lounge is available for you. On TX OU weekend, it was open and serving free cold bottled water. The couches and seating in the lounge are so comfortable. One of the attendants who works […]

I had my traditional taste of a sausage on a stick at the fair on the day of the TX OU game. It was way too greasy. I couldn't even finish it. It also gave me heartburn and seemed to be over spiced. I still enjoy sausage, but I will stick to less greasy varieties. […]
