Summary
An interview with the artist who created the original Texas State Fair icon "Big Tex," which burned in an electrical fire in 2012 and was rebuilt for the 2013 fair. On the first MP3, Mr. Bridges discusses both his personal life and the creation of the icon. The second MP3 exclusively covers the creation of Big Tex in similar but different detail from the first tale, with additional information on the icon's construction and costumes, annual set up and storage, and its different iterations, faces, and voices
