Big Tex®

Howdy Folks! Big Tex made his debut at the 1952 State Fair of Texas. Wearing size 70 boots and a 75 gallon hat, Tex towered 52 feet above wide-eyed State Fair of Texas visitors. On October 19, 2012, Big Tex was destroyed by an electrical fire. However, the State Fair of Texas was committed to rebuilding Big Tex in 2013.
