State Fair of Texas

In my other life, I am in the travel industry.

And so I was just at a conference and I was at the trade show and the trade show theme was Texas State Fair.

So I dressed up in some jeans and a checkered shirt and red bandana and I had some glitter on.

You know, because I always have glitter.

Yet somehow, she still maintained an active social life and was popular among her peers.

On the evening of October 12th, 1984, Angela and two friends visited the Texas State Fair before moving on to a nightclub known as the Rio Room.

The trio danced until the early hours of the following morning whereupon a perfectly sober Angela gave them both a ride home.

She then briefly stopped at her boyfriend's place, then made her way back to her own apartment on Amesbury Drive in northeast Texas.

Officers found Angela's door unlocked and, when they walked inside and searched the apartment, they found Angela's lifeless body.

She had been stripped, violated, and then stabbed to death.

Police began to heavily suspect that Angela's killer had been the male friend she took to the Texas State Fair that night.

Russell Buchanan admitted to being heavily intoxicated on the night in question, but despite his claim that he went straight to bed after being given a ride back home, he had no solid alibis for the hours that followed.

They'll put their hands right in that animal's mouth.

Oh, stop, please.

The

State Fair of Texas 2026 has wrapped up, but the Dallas County Health Department is investigating if a cluster of E. coli cases came from its petting zoo.

See? County health officials confirm a visit to the fair has been a consistent story among some of the recent cases.

I'm not sure if I can call it outbreak yet, but like a cluster of cases we need to investigate.

You know, on a Monday, we are recapping the week, right? The week prior.

We might have just gotten back from the Texas State Fair where we were promoting our, you know, Glow Reviver Melting Lip Balm.

By Wednesday, we're, you know, thinking about the week ahead, recapping campaigns, are trying to make sure that we are still number three in earned media value against...

the biggest big dogs of the biggest big dogs.

You know who your dear and true are, right? The creators that write for you, that work the hardest for you, and you want to continue to nurture those relationships that we just talked about, the surprise and delight, making sure that you remember their birthdays.

But then also it's so important that you're always discovering those new audiences, which it seems like you guys found in Pickle Lovers.

And not just that, right? We just got back from the Texas State Fair and the Minnesota State Fair.

How surprising is that that, like, a beauty brand showed up there? We were the first beauty brand sponsor in 20 years at both of those state fairs.

Polls, not pools.

Brian recently swung by the Texas State Fair, and tonight he shows us how voters there are feeling about the cost of living, culture, and whether or not Texas is actually in play.

So we have been on the road to some of the biggest battleground states around the country, Iowa, Michigan, Maine, Ohio, and of course, Texas.

We're hearing a lot about Texas ahead of the midterms, a state you don't typically hear about as a battleground state.

Texans, not necessarily used to that.

They say everything is bigger in Texas, especially at the Texas State Fair.

This year, maybe more than ever, the stakes for the midterm elections are big here too.

James Tallarico is a hypocrite when it comes to fighting for families.

Where in Texas, this is a quiz for you, where in Texas can you see the world's largest pair of cowboy boots?

Probably it's Texas State Fair.

No?

No? Should I start naming every town in Texas? No, it's just outside North Star Mall in San Antonio.

It's this part of Speck's life that gives us an early window into the emerging fantasies that will later drive the violence.

What Dennis Breo is referring to takes place in October of 1961 when Speck meets a 15-year-old girl named Annette Malone at the Texas State Fair in Dallas.

He's 19 at this time and working at a nearby 7-Up bottling plant.

And according to Annette's later statements, she becomes pregnant within weeks.
