Big Tex is Back

Dallas Morning News:
Big Tex bootprints have now decided to take a stroll over to Klyde Warren park. Apparently he is into the food trucks, the state fair says. I hope he takes it easy. Wouldn’t want him to bulk up too much before the fair. The bootprints that are making their way around town have fun facts about Tex. Like this one: “It would take more than 2,200 pairs of Big Tex boots to fill Klyde Warren Park.” Good to know. Let us know if you spot Big Tex’s boots somewhere.
Big Tex returns in just 11 days! Follow his journey around the state on the fair’s Facebook page.
Big shoes to fill: As the anticipation to see the new Big Tex reaches a fever pitch, the State Fair offers us one big tease… his “bootprints,” which the fair says will be all over the state in the coming days, but were spotted at the Perot museum today.
According to the fair, “After visiting Victory Park and WFAA’s Daybreak last week, Tex decided to visit old friends at the new Perot Museum of Nature and Science. He visited the T. Boone Pickens Life Then and Now Hall (he felt it would hit close to home) and raced against a Tyrannosaurus Rex in the Sports Hall.”
We hope that unlike Godzilla, Big Tex is careful about where he steps.

Wow, the State Fair of Texas is getting pretty corny.  For those who don't remember, Big Tex burned  up last year in the coolest fire since Big Butter Jesus got struck by lightning.
