October is coming, and October is synonymous with the Texas State Fair. I was visiting Speedbump and Jamie two years ago in October, and they offered to take me to the Fair. I really should have taken them up on it. It turns out that the Texas State Fair lasts an entire MONTH! Texans have always done things in big ways.
Here in Illinois a fair may last from Tuesday or Wednesday to the following Sunday. I think the State Fair may run ten days or so. But I don't think we have ever considered letting it run an entire month.
Perhaps the Texas State Fair runs so long because it takes so long to get to Dallas from every corner of the state.
Tex and Jamie....if you go, take pictures of the quilts for me, and wave at BIG TEX!

The state, or you personally? I doubt Illinois could sustain a month of fair.
