Texas State Fair Fare
Edible Cola Cups, et al
Although, really, the newest meat popcicle of the year is probably a must try:
"Lollipop Fried Bacon Wrapped Quail Breast on a Stick"
I still love the fried banana with chocolate and whipped cream that we had a few years back. Surely that can still be found.
If I come across the fried peppermint candies again, though, I'm going to have to have words with someone.

The State Fair of Texas website has some wonderful tricks up its sleeve when you check out the different options listed under the Schedule drop-down. There is a tablet-friendly, interactive guide with a tutorial, printing, emailing, and even note-taking capabilities (hopefully that link works for you). The Daily Schedule has a browser-saved Itinerary (which can also be printed off and/or downloaded) that lets you mark items from the online schedule for easy reference. Lastly, there are recommended guided itineraries to makes things even easier if you don't want to spend time combing through the schedule of events.
Reminder: The TX-OU game is Oct 8. We made the mistake of going that same day a few years ago, and I swear I almost had a heart attack thinking I'd lost one of the much-younger-at-the-time nephews in the crowd of thousands packed in like sardines (NOT exaggerating). We were working our way through to a concessions tent only to stand in line for over an hour just to get a couple sodas. Roommate Tom went with us that year, and he really was a life saver that day.

Yes avoid those stupid deep fried peppermints
Thursday the 13th would work out nicely
