During our time in Des Moines at the Iowa State Fair, we
took Texas' motto "friendship" to heart and left with many new
friends. Some guests held on to their All Access Pass from last year's Texas on
Tour visit to Iowa and brought it with them to experience Texas all over again.
These visitors liked to describe themselves as "card carrying
members" of Texas on Tour.
Iowans especially showed their stuff when it came time for
Texas trivia. Kids and adults alike faired well in our game of Texas or Not
trivia, many walking away with a Texas bandana or a Texas on Tour t-shirt! The
best part was that no matter what the prize, they all left with a better idea
of the adventures Texas has to offer.
Chris, who was visiting the Iowa State Fair from Texas,
wrote a lovely note of thanks to the Texas on Tour team. In it, he mentioned
how great it was to see many happy Iowans standing in line, waiting to
experience a Virtual Texas.
Thank you, Chris, for the kind words. It is notes like these
that make it easy to share the joys of Texas and help others have a great
experience. Next, we'll be rolling into the Minnesota State Fair, Thursday, August
23rd through Sunday, August 26th. Our stop will be fun, but brief, so make sure
you make it by in time to see Texas firsthand!
