Danny Fulgencio spent this glorious First Day of the Fair where he's always perched this time of the year: on Main Street, along the parade route for the State Fair of Texas's kick-off parade that's a little bit o' this and a whole lotta that. One of Dallas's finer traditions -- just the right shade of Big City with an appropriate dash of Small Town. A slide show's forthcoming for those of you who couldn't make it downtown today; some of us are working, after all, and trying not to watch Rangers-Rays (which isn't hard at this point). A few more photos follow till then.
