Celebrate 75th Anniversary of Centennnial Expo With Footage From 1961 State Fair of Texas

• here  some views of Storybook land http://www.cardcow.com/216913/storybook-land-irving-texas/ http://cgi.ebay.com/IRVING-TX-1955-Storybook-Land-Roadside-Attraction-GEM-/370447521018 http://cgi.ebay.com/STORYBOOK-LAND-Amusement-Park-Irving-Texas-Postcard-/320689374196

• If you search the internet you can find plenty of pictures of the Monorail. It was first built in Houston then moved to the state fair.

• Please upload you home movie of Storybook Land. I have done searches for pictures and have found none.

• The only thing that I can come up with that associates The State Fair of Texas with "sexy" is "something fried". And, if it's on film, yikes. Hide that sandwich porn.

• Definitely not OU/TX Saturday.

• And Cowboy Town was next door to Storybook Land. I only remember riding in a car and seeing the ruins of both parks from the road.

• Speaking of showing my age I remember that monorail. But just barely!

• I totally want to see that.  I went to Crocket Jr. High at the same intersection in the late 70's.  I'm guessing it must of been on the north side of 183, where I once used to practice soccer.  I think there's a 24-hour Fitness on the spot now.

• What a shame that nobody took the initiative (Friends of Fair Park?) to put something together for this, considering how important the Centennial Exposition was to Dallas.

• Love to see that. Thanks.

• I'll show my age as I remember going out to Storybook land. it was the bee's knees fer sure

• RW you are too cool for school. I should send you a home movie of Storybook Land which predated not only yourself but Six Flags as well. Located in Irving off of 183 at "Story" exit I believe. That was THE destination for families back then.
