I would like to comment on the segment that showed the 2 elderly ladies who attended the State Fair today. The report said they've been going to the Fair together every year since they were about 5 years old. They are now in their 90's. One of the ladies said she wouldn't miss it for the world. They ate corny dogs, played games & won prizes for their grandchildren & commented on Big Tex's attire. From the sparkles in their eyes, I forgot their ages & noticed how the Fair made them young again. Imagine what Dallas was like & the State Fair when they were 5! Imagine how much change they have seen in our city. Even in my 38 years here in Dallas, I've watched the Dallas Parkway go from just a road cut through acres of cotton fields to the middle of the city. So, imagine what these ladies have seen! They started going to the Fair when SMU was way out in the country!

This segment was like a breath of fresh air in the midst of so much bad news. Just seeing those lovely ladies sparkle & have a great time made me smile. Their smiles could light up a room & they certainly added plenty of bright sunshine to the Texas State Fair.

I am a North Dallas mom of 3 daughters. I have lived in Dallas since 1970 & have watched this great city grow. I enjoy being a "tourist" in the Metroplex by taking my children around to different attractions. We are members of the Dallas Zoo and we enjoy road trips around Texas. Two of my new hobbies are exploring Texas' backroads and trying out different barbecue restaurants in the quest to find the "best bbq in Texas". I have grown up watching Channel 4 News & like my oldest daughter said the other day, "I won't watch any other news, Mom."
