This year's West Texas Fair and Rodeo has already surpassed last year in
ticket sales, but food isn't the only thing people look forward to.
Besides funnel cakes and turkey legs, the biggest attractions at the
fair are the rides and carnival games.
According to Allan Cockerham, Carnival Chairman, the most popular game at the West Texas Fair is the water gun match-up. Everyone who plays simultaneously, is competing against one another.
When it comes to the rides, Cockerman says there is something for everyone.
"We have a great selection of rides out here," says Cockerman, "we have a really large kiddie land for the younger families... We have a really huge selection of the adult spectacular rides."
But with all the variety, Cockerman says the most popular ride is still the classic favorite, the Ferris Wheel.
The West Texas Fair and Rodeo runs through Saturday, September 16th. Tickets are $7 for adults on weekdays, and $10 on the weekend. Students are $4 everyday.
