Aaron Watson is one of the hottest Texas-based acts in the US. He's playing sold out shows across the Lone Star State and from sea shining sea.

The State Fair of Texas has announced the finalists for their "2014 Big Tex Choice Awards", including a chicken fried baked potato, and a beer. For the "Original State Brew" a Funnel Cake Ale.

Big Tex suffered a great tragedy last year during the fair when he burned to death. It was a sad day to say the least, a legend was gone. However, we new then that it wouldn't be long before a New Big Tex was back. This morning was that day. Big Tex was revealed at the State Fair of Texas in Dallas.

Big Tex, the beloved mascot of the Texas State Fair who stood at the gates greeting fairgoers for sixty years, caught fire yesterday. Even the hardest-bitten cowboy is shedding a tear today.

Sixty years of being greeted by Big Tex when entering the State Fair of Texas came to an unfortunate end this morning. Big Tex burned to the ground shortly after 10:30 this morning.
