Howdy, Folks. Got Some Money For Big Tex?

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.
