| Not asking for a freebie, just any discounts available? |

Lots of ways to get for almost free. There is canned food day, coke day, dr pepper day. I went last thursday and wore some Dickies carpenter pants and got in for free.
Free ice cream cones in the food and fiber building, I ate 4-5 of them. Plus a bunch of other stuff. |

Here is the list I used to find free Dickies clothing day:
http://dallas.about.com/od/festivalsparades/qt/State-Fair-Of-Texas-Discounts-And-Deals.htm Points of interest for me this year were the Hall of State where on the north wing they have a lounge setup for Dallas Morning News subscribers with free water. On the south end of the Hall of State they have a variety of military uniforms and firearms from Conquistadors through Confederate. Alamo, Goliad and the like sprinkled in too. Fannin's watch is there on display. |
