Howdy, Folks. Got Some Money For Big Tex?

The Dallas portion of North Park Center's train exhibit this year features Big Tex standing in the center of Fair Park, unscathed.
The State Fair has set up a donation page online for Big Tex's repair.
If you've been following the down-but-not-out Fair icon's status after the fire in October, you'll notice a change at bigtex.com. There's a donation button for well-wishers who want to throw in as little as $25 for Tex's recovery, which is apparently underway at a "spa location" Fair spokesperson Sue Gooding still won't "disclose."
Gooding told KERA's BJ Austin the repair will likely cost $500,000.
