[Intl-stu] Trip to Texas State Fair October 15

[International Students]

The ISSO is sponsoring a trip to the Texas State Fair on Saturday,
October 15.  For more than 100 years, the State Fair of Texas has been a
major source of entertainment for millions, as well as a powerful factor
in the growth of Dallas.  The State Fair is a great opportunity to
experience Texas culture at its finest.  For more information please go

Brenda Brand in the office says that "as a Texan and a resident of the
Dallas area I have gone to the State Fair of Texas for over 30 years and
it is one of the best ways to see people, products, and talent from
Texas and around the world. Take a camera, there are a lot of fun and
interesting things to take your picture with. Sit in a bring shiny new
truck or fancy car, touch an animal you may have never gotten close to,
see handmade crafts, and new and innovated products. Take a backpack for
the free items that you may find. There are many things to see and do at
the State Fair each year and I enjoy going every time." 

 

The cost for the trip is $20 (cash or money order made out to TAMU-C)
which includes transportation to the state fair grounds and admission to
the fair.  Seats are limited and we will need a minimal number of
participants for the trip.  Students may sign up in person (no
emails/phone calls or group sign up by one person) at the ISSO and the
$20 registration is required at sign-up to reserve a seat.  The deadline
to sign up is Monday, October 10 at 5pm.  No refunds/transfers.  

 

Students will need to be at the parking lot (Parking lot C on map) next
to the Performing Arts Center (Building #18 on map) by 10:45am.  Please
bring your Lion card (campus ID card).  We will leave campus at 11am
SHARP.  There is a spectacular light show every evening around 8pm that
lasts about 30-45 minutes and we will depart to return to Commerce after
the light show around 9pm.
