THE State Fair of Texas

Yep I have to admit that I had never been to the famous State Fair of Texas..... until this past weekend! You have no idea how excited I was to actually get to go and I fully enjoyed myself besides a few "embarrassing " moments! (those will definitely be mentioned) We started out by driving to Dallas to meet at the hotel to get change and look sharp in Official Dress for a get together at the Cotton Bowl Arena. 1) we were running late so of course everyone was upset 2) it helped that we had a funny cab driver that got us to our destination in 10 min when were were previously told that it would take 35 3) we got dropped off at the wrong gate so had to run half a mile down the side walk in panty hose and heels in hand to gate 6 where we were suppose to be 4) in the process of running I got a rip in my pantyhose :/ so was completely mad because I looked so unprofessional and we were even more late 5) It was hot and we were VERY flushed in the face when we finally arrived but....... things were quite okay after that. We got the chance to meet the FCCLA state and national officers along with the 4H officers and some great people who put on the fair every year. The night only seemed to escalate in goodness because the next thing we know we are shaking Laura Bush's hand and taking a picture with the ex First Lady. Pretty exciting! The next day would have been Saturday and it was a day to be spent at the fair grounds, spent eating all the fried food we could find, spent playing basketball against some college kids, spent watching the dog show, riding the gondala and eating more fried food. :D I have to admit that the fried peanut butter and jelly banana sandwich was the best! Next we are at a reception put on by Texas Tech and a banquet that followed. Of course the best part was the dance afterward. Yes us FFA kids know how to dance. Let me just throw in that Miles flipped Jeremiah not once but TWICE!
