The ISSO is sponsoring a trip to the Texas State Fair on Saturday,
September 29. 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 to http://www.bigtex.com/sft/index.asp.
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, September 24 at 5pm. No refunds after September
24th and no transfers.
We will depart at 10:30am from parking lot "E" next to the student
center (building #28) on the online campus map at

each evening at 8pm that concludes the fair events for the day and we
will depart after the show and expect to return to Commerce by 11pm.
Students must return to Commerce on the shuttle.
