more, plus various links (including this Wiki Big Tex entry) at Gawker site aboveThe 52-foot "Big Tex" statue that has welcomed visitors to the State Fair of Texas with a booming, "Howdy y'all!" for the past 60 years was completely destroyed in a terrifying burst of flames today.
Fair President Sue Gooding told Dallas' KTRK News that the structure burned very quickly and was rendered unsalvageable within ten minutes. Early speculation suggests the damage was caused by an electrical fire.
