Read MoreTake The A-train to the State Fair of Texas
If everything comes bigger in the Lone Star State, then here’s little doubt they don’t come any bigger than the annual State Fair of Texas. A rite of passage for every Texan and new transplant, travel to the State Fair can nevertheless also be a huge pain in the saddle. The drive down to Dallas on I-35 is an infamously awful Mad Max heck-scape, parking can be tricky to find and costly once you do, and who wants to be stuck in the long exit lines once your tank hits empty and you’re ready to head home? Luckily, our friends at the Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA) are offering some discounted combo tickets to the big event by rail, and you can enter to win a FREE A-train Daytrip to the Texas State Fair with our pal Dentonaut to gander at all the 2017 sights!
