Friday Photos: Fair Day!

On October 7, the DMA Education Division took a small (and well-deserved!) break to explore the food, photography and fun at the State Fair of Texas! We really enjoyed the Creative Arts Exhibition Hall, and of course the crazy fried food concoctions. In honor of the Fair’s closing weekend, here are a few snaps from our day!

Just a fraction of the delicious jams and chutneys created for the State Fair. Including a third place win for a blackberry jam created by the wife of Carl Daniel, Manager of Multimedia Services.

Emily Wiskera and Jon Toles discuss a drawing that won a ribbon.

Jessie Frazier and McDermott Interns Emily Wiskera and Jenny Wang look at some of the many photography entries on view. So many talented artists entered the competition this year!

It’s important to try lots of new and fun food (especially if it’s fried potatoes!). Jessie shows off her tater tornado!

A nice group of fall flowers and pumpkins in the beer garden. A perfect place to try Dallas’s own Community Beer Company brews. We especially liked the Funnel Cake Ale!

Dallas police officers on horseback.

The incredibly life-like butter sculpture! 3,000 pounds of butter never looked so good.

Sarah Coffey, her son Rhys, and Madeleine Fitzgerald pose in front of Big Tex, the State Fair of Texas’s larger-than-life mascot! He moves and talks too, which only slightly spooked us.
