Last year it was brought to my attention that I was deprived. It was questionable whether or not I would be able to call myself a Texan. For, my friends, I was a State Fair of Texas virgin.
Gasp!
I had been holding tight to that State Fair of Texas vcard. It seems that No Child Left Behind left me in the dust when it came time for the State Fair of Texas. If you know me, you know I grew up in a teensy town deep in the heart of East Texas. Many twists and turns have led me to where I am today - meaning that I realize that the State Fair is more than an event that occurs during the Texas/Oklahome game.
You see - my "State Fair" experience consisted of a "ferris wheel" and some shady rides set up in the Kroger parking lot. I was SHOCKED to realize that A grew up taking a 'Fair Day off from school' every year.
Growing up, the big D was the land of milk and honey - but a WHOLE DAY off from school to go to the fair?!?! Boy - I was missing out.
