Description
Big Tex made his debut at the 1952 State Fair of Texas. He wore size 70 boots and a 75-gallon hat and he towered 52 feet above wide-eyed visitors. His denim jeans and plaid shirt were donated by the H. D. Lee Company of Shawnee Mission, Kansas. Cosmetic surgery the following year straightened his nose, corrected a lascivious wink and allowed him to talk.
