## Resource

Big Tex is back, bigger and bolder than ever, standing 55 feet tall in Dallas and ready to kick off the State Fair of Texas next week. This year’s look? A fresh new outfit from Cavender’s Boot City, replacing Dickies after nearly 30 years — complete with a custom Resistol hat and boots designed by 31-year-old Aaliyah McNeal, winner of a special contest. Her design pays tribute to Texas with longhorns, bluebonnets, and pecan trees. The fair runs September 25 through October 18 under the patriotic theme “Stars, Stripes, and Howdies,” bringing back the energy, tradition, and friendly Texas spirit everyone loves.
