I lived within walking distance of Fair Park for several years when I was a kid.
I love going to the fair. Been dozens of times and have never had any problems. Not sure what you guys are so scared of.

Went twice in my 39 years of living here. I cringe to think of ever going again. Not into cattle or sheep, cotton candy and stepping in vomit by the Tilt-A-Whirl ride, nasty sloppy fried foods on a stick, nor parking and praying to find your car in one piece and not getting mugged. I did pack heat though the last time about 10 years ago. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2019/09/full-8537-26106-screen_shot_09_27_19_at_09.42_am.png) Hey! What's the mayor of Santa Fe, NM doing here?  Cheers,  George

I go almost every year, Fantastic shows for free and good food to eat.
Wednesday you can get in with some can food donations, I am just waiting for cooler weather to make my annual trip there.

You take the DART Green line to the Fair Park station and you are right at the entrance gate. And I think if you go online to the State Fair website you can get a combo Fair ticket and DART pass combo at a discount price. As for crime, during the run of the Fair there is a larger Police presence in and around Fair Park than in any other part of Dallas to make sure everything is OK. .

Yes, we suck all the talent out of Texas because these players want a chance at a national championship instead of being a 2nd place in the Big 12 participant’s trophy!

I like going to the car show part of the fair. But hate having to pay full pop just for that.

Biggest beating ever. Now this is a fair worth going to: https://www.fryeburgfair.org/The sheepdog trials are the bomb! Watched one dog complete the herding task in less than half the time of his closest competitor - most dominate athletic performance I have ever witnessed.
