Same Day Deliveries Dallas: Hello, State Fair!
It’s baaccccckkkk!!!
In Dallas, you’re either a Fair person or you are distinctly NOT a Fair person. I’d like the permanent record to show that I personally am a big time Fair person! Some people hate the crowds, but for me, a busting at the seams State Fair of Texas is as comfortable as my own home. I’m a Dallasite, born and raised, so each year I make it my mission to get people excited about the State Fair and the many things it has to offer.
More importantly, Eagle Express is Dallas-based. Sure, we go all over Texas making Dallas to San Antonio deliveries, Dallas to Houston deliveries and so many more. But Dallas is in fact home, so things like the Fair do impact our day to day work. Consider this:
The Fair is celebrating its 138th year in Dallas. ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY EIGHT YEARS. That’s astounding! Eagle Express has been boots on the ground for more than 40 years, and that seems like a long time! But wow, 138 years of the Fair. That is significant for our city, our local economy and our annual traffic!
In 2023, 2.3 million people visited the Fair. That’s 2.3 million people parking, walking, taking the DART, spending money, creating traffic and having a blast while doing it.
This coming weekend is the Red River Rivalry between Texas and OU at the Cottonbowl. I don’t need to tell you that the traffic getting to the Fair on game day is WILD. Being a same day courier service in Dallas means that we factor Fair traffic into everything we do during late September and October. Parking is extra crazy, streets have been re-routed by the city and you better be prepared to know your way around. Thank goodness for our expert dispatch team. That’s the difference when you go local. We actually live here. Our team actually attends the Fair. We know Fair Park’s nuances. We know what to expect traffic-wise on big game days. Someone who isn’t from DFW simply can’t know the inner workings of Fair season. But with 40+ years under our belt, we sure do! And I’ve got a Fair hack for you – hit up all the games and rollercoasters DURING the Texas/OU game this weekend. And then run for the hills! Once the game lets out, you have 50% of the fans thrilled and ready to party and the other 50% of the fans deflated and therefore ready to party to soothe the gloom!
Every year, our Dallas food delivery services team gets amped about the Fair offerings. Things started getting crazy a few decades ago with the introduction of the Fried Oreo. People went wild for the deep-fried treat. Suddenly, a trend was born. We see this a lot in the food and beverage industry. An idea takes off, and there’s no slowing it down. After the deep fried Oreo, we saw fried butter, fried Twinkies, fried Coke (yes, I’m serious!), fried beer and just about everything else you can imagine. This year, our food logistics services Dallas Fort Worth team can’t help but highlight the winners:
Beso de Angel – This looks delectable, and I plan to get it when I go next week! A nod to Mexican desserts, this sweet treat highlights buñuelos and fresas con cremas. Yum!
Candied Pork Belly Bacon Bites – This is next level savory! Not sure I’d do a rollercoaster after this one!
Caramel Macchiato Fritters – I’m a coffee girl, so this is right up my alley!
Fat Bacon Pickle Fries – Sign me up!!
Whether you love the Fair or steer clear, this Texas tradition ain’t going nowhere. And if you need logistics services in the month of October in Dallas, you better be picking a company who knows their way around the exciting madness that is the State Fair of Texas – now, y’all come back now, ya hear?!
