The iconic "Big Tex" caught on fire and burned within a matter of minutes. Someone noticed smoke coming from around his neck. It seems there was an electrical short inside his neck where the moving parts for his mouth connect.
This was his 60th year at the "State Fair of Texas" and the officials gave him a birthday party at the opening of the Fair. Word has it that he will be revamped and be back next year. Certainly this has been a historic morning for Texas and the State Fair.
