Texas Wonders: Exploring The Big, Bold, And Oversized Attractions

We don't just say "Everything is bigger in Texas", we can prove it. 

It's a fact that when we do anything in Texas, we like to do it on the grandest scale we can possibly imagine. Just take a gander at Big Tex which towers over folks visiting the State Fair each year. Of course, when you have Big Tex, you have big fires, which is a different story for another time.

Big Tex is not the only synonymous object that is bigger than life. Have you ever seen a bunch of Cadillacs buried nose-first in the dirt? Have you ever sunk your teeth into a gooey cinnamon roll the size of a small house?
