DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF) – The State Fair of Texas is celebrating a record year.
According to the fair, the 2022 State Fair of Texas welcomes a record-breaking 2,547,289 fairgoers.
“At its core, the State Fair of Texas is about community,” said State Fair of Texas President, Mitchell Glieber. “There is nothing more fulfilling for our team than seeing folks from all walks of life gather together and mutually share and enjoy the Fair. Thanks to our fairgoers visiting, we are able to fulfill our nonprofit mission of supporting agriculture, education, and community involvement year-round.”
Approximately 583,000 Fletcher’s Corny Dogs were sold during the 24-day run. More than 90,000 pounds of pure cane sugar was used to make State Fair Cotton Candy during the Fair.
The records extended beyond the fair grounds. A Guinness World Record was broken. Resident strongman Mighty Mike juggled three 10-pound bowling balls for 20 seconds, breaking the world record.
