He's had that job for awhile, sounds like fun. He's president of the Lettermans Asn., now, too.

I hope his is ready to fight the idiot developers that currently want to destroy the State Fair, to "fix" fair park.

Maybe once Chad gets things rolling he can setup a marquee opponent to play us at the Cotton Bowl during the Fair

thats a lot of land to have a fair for a few wks a year. Need to fix it up or figure it out. Not sure the answer. The neighborhood needs fixing.

Fair Park needs help. Badly. But proposals that drastically alter the fair (such as the one from the Boston group that includes removing the Midway and moving the State Fair to the northeast corner) should be deprioritized
