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!
