The Dallas Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) invited me to tag along on a weekend of activities surrounding the State Fair of Texas. The festivities started off on opening day with the annual parade through Downtown Dallas. We chose to view the parade from Main Street Gardens. There was a band playing and several food vendors set up, including Fletcher's Corny Dogs. One of the reporters in our group is from New York City and was amazed by the pageantry of the beauty queens and the sheer numbers represented by participating high school bands and cheerleaders. "We don't even have cheerleaders in NYC!", she gawked. "Honey, welcome to Texas. We love our football, pom poms and sequins." I said in my best Texas twang.
