Big Tex is the 52 foot (16 m) high icon of the annual State Fair of Texas held at Fair Park in Dallas, Texas (USA).
Big Tex's humble beginnings were in 1949 as a 49 foot (15 m) tall Santa Claus constructed from iron-pipe drill casing and papier mache in Kerens, Texas to help encourage holiday sales in the town.
Big Tex made his grand debut at the 1952 fair.

 Texas Twisted | Big Tex
Jack Bridges, the man who created Big Tex's original papier-mache head (and later, the fiberglass replacement), said in a 1997 interview that he had taken the faces of himself, Will Rogers and a rancher named Doc Simmons, and selected the worst features from all three to form Tex's initial visage.
When Big Tex was given the ability to speak, he had his nose straightened and his eyes refashioned to remove a "lascivious wink." In 1958, Tex underwent further cosmetic surgery, bringing him closer to the handsome host we know today.
In 1997, Big Tex was given a complete structural makeover, as well as a new hand that waved to passersby.
