Big Tex , the Pride of Texas-Story of its Revival

Big Tex, burned to the ground before a crowd of stunned fair goers.

An “unspecified electrical short” was eventually blamed for causing the spark that ignited the 52-foot-tall, 60-year-old towering cowboy, leaving behind only a steel frame and the two sleeves of his Dickies Western-wear shirt.

The new Big Tex, now 4 years old, boasts and even stronger steel frame, a fire suppression system and fire-retardant duds (lesson learned); he’s also got a moving arm in addition to the moving mouth. He’s taller, at 55 feet, and weighs 19,000 pounds more than his older self, bringing him to a total of 25,000 pounds.

A lesson learned; always to think ahead. Now that we have our big Tex back, we can go on ahead and enjoy that he is once again, here with us!
