It's almost here!
I emailed PR @ bigtex.com to see if the VRCC could get a special discount on admission. We can't as a club, but their response below does offer anyone planning on attending quite a few options. I can almost taste the brats, belgian waffles, corny dogs, funnel cakes, fried ribs, bread pudding, tamales, caramel apples, spinach puffs, fudge, beef wellingtons, salt water taffy, fried okra, cold beers, espressos, and Tums...
You can go online to
