The 1972 Texas State Fair & Dallas Exposition drew over three million people to its halls, showcasing collections of food, products, and entertainment from local Texas farmers and business owners. People even elected a "Pecan Queen."
Unfortunately state fairs don't exist like they used to, so in memory of what once was here are 21 photos from the 1972 Texas State Fair.
