Greetings!
FALL HAS ARRIVED...
THE STATE FAIR, TOO!
Fall came our way on Tuesday the 22nd at 4:18. That could only mean one thing... the State Fair of Texas has opened.
Grand opening ceremonies were held today and the fair will run thru Sunday, October 18th. As far as a rotating entertainment schedule goes, nothing beats the scope of acts sponsored by the Texas Cultural Partnership. The TCP will be showcasing an astonishing 59 ethnic and cultural dance groups in almost 160 performances in front of the Hall of State during the State Fair of Texas.
Entertainment this year includes Jason Castro, 38 special, En Vogue, Commodores and more. Your complete State Fair guide can be found online at:
