State Fair 2009

Uptown Dallas Today
  The State Fair starts in 30 days and a few hours. If you need tickets then starting September 1st you can get season passes at your local Kroger store. The season pass is $29.95 for admission to each and everyday of the State Fair. You also get a few one day pass you use to bring a friend and a free Cinemark Movie pass. What a Deal! 
   This year take DART to the State Fair on the Green line. Buy $4 day pass and take Red or Blue lines to Pearl station and switch to the Green line to Fair Park or MLK station. You can also catch the Green line at Victory Station or take the 409 bus from City Place to Fair Park . No car or parking required this year. Expect the Green line to look like the New York Subway system at rush hour all during the State Fair. Only takes 10 minutes to get to the State Fair from Pearl station. 
  There will be two football games ,for those that like college games, one on October 3rd and another on October 17th. You have been warned those are big days at the State Fair. You find me at the Celebrity Kitchen almost everyday and depending on the chef it too will be busy. I suggest stopping by the Continental DAR House for inexpensive bottles of water and soft drinks. They have begun a fundraiser  to restore the home , built in 1936, and add some new features.          
  This Thursday August the 27th at Borders , 3600 Mc Kinney ave, bookstore it will be Teachers Open House . Starting at 7 pm they will be having a special event just for educators .
