I know what you're thinking, "how can I get me a pair of those?" You can't, but Big Tex is going to enjoy this new pair of Lucchese boots this year at the State Fair of Texas.
The State Fair of Texas has announced the finalists for their "2014 Big Tex Choice Awards", including a chicken fried baked potato, and a beer. For the "Original State Brew" a Funnel Cake Ale.
I think a lot of us were sad to hear the news of Big Tex catching on fire Friday. He's been a Texas icon for 60 years, but since they will rebuilt him I have a suggestion! Make him young again!!
For six decades, Big Tex has welcomed folks to the State Fair of Texas at Dallas' Fair Park. Today, however, the legend welcomed his last guests as he burned to the ground after an apparent electrical fire that started in his neck, according to Sue Gooding, a spokesperson for the fair.
