Food isn't the only thing that was fried this year at the State Fair of Texas!

Slightly higher resolution video this time. Flames swiftly engulfed Big Tex Friday morning, leaving only a skeletal frame with his hands, arms and belt buckle still intact. The State Fair of Texas was celebrating Big Tex's 60th birthday. It is stated that the fire started in his right boot. The fair is having a bad day, at this very moment, couple dozen riders are stranded in the air, because of yet another electrical problem. http://www.wfaa.com/news/local/Riders-trapped-high-in-the-air-when-power-fails-on-State-Fair-ride-175034751.html Talk about your double-whammy!
