To most people, there are four seasons in a year, but in Dallas, we have a fifth (maybe a sixth and seventh depending on who you ask because #Football, duh) but that fifth season in Dallas would be FAIR SEASON! Starting the last week of September and lasting for 24(ish) glorious days, The State Fair of Texas is filled with fried food, fabulous attractions and fun times! Since The Fair is one of the main things Thomas and I do every year, we thought this year we would do a round up of the bucket list items that everyone needs to do whenever they visit The Fair! After all, we did take our engagement photos at the State Fair of Texas!

I have never been to Texas – it's on my bucket list and now so is the state fair! How amazing!!
Such a great idea to have a bucket list!
This sounds like so much fun! I want to go to a fair soon!
If I ever make it to the Texas State Fair I will for sure be trying these out! 🙂
Native Texan here (Houston) and I've never been to the State Fair! I know it's coming up because it was on the news. I need to make it down there and eat the 15,000 calories of fried food lol #bucketlist
When we all introduced ourselves here. We were received warmly by all those who participated in the event. Events at Chicago event space are a lot of fun, giving access to features that aren't always the easiest to get into and aren't always the most wallet friendly.
These all sound so fun! I really need to go to the fair sometime!
This list is AMAZING, wish I could have a chance to check out the fair in Texas!
I've never been to a state fair, but form your bucket list–it looks so fun!
It's always good to have a list of things you want to do when you go the fair!
