Texas State Fair

Do I need to buy coupons for food or can we pay cash?

TIA

Re: Texas State Fair

  • Pretty sure you have to buy the coupons/tickets.  It's been a while since we've been though.  We tried to go on the last day last year and it was a disaster.  Took 2 hours for us to get from the hwy exit to the fairgrounds and then parking was a nightmare so we left. 

    All that fried food is calling my name though... I've heard the fried frito pie is amazing...

  • so jealous!  it's one of the things I want to do while we're in TX.

    the "it" food this year is fried beer.  I don't know what to think of it, but it intrigues me!  good thing we're not going this year because I wouldn't be able to try it. :/

  • My friend and her H are driving from Austin today and we are going tomorrow (which is not a good day!! Cotton Bowl) but we are going to take the train from Plano to the fairgrounds, that's supposed to be the best way.

    We are only going for the fried food, I will update you guys how it was.

    Actually everyone I know that has tried the fried beer has been disgusted. I'd rather get an extra corny dog. :)

  • ssinca - You know, I'm not sure.  I'm totally on board with the concept though!

    I have heard mixed reviews on the fried margarita also.  Some like it, some hated it.

    well, I for sure am getting some fried pickles if we end up going to the alamo tomorrow, so I'm right there with you.

    and I, too, will blame tx-bride if I gain 5 lbs. ;)

  • update: last night I insisted we go have fried food so we went to a local tavern where i had fried mushrooms, fried okra, fried shrimp and mac & cheese.  And beer.  Totally ODed on fried food.  Was awesome but put me in a food coma for the rest of the night!
