IS OUR TEXAS FLAG   APRON A BIB?   JUST WEAR IT WITH PRIDE!

While attending the State Fair of Texas with our red/white/blue booth, a delightful couple came in to purchase an apron.As you might see, our apron has a loop for over the neck and ties at the waist.They worked and worked to make this apron fit the gentleman perfectly with the bib portion high under his chin.The lady pulled the waist ties through the loop on the neck and brought them back down to the waist area where she was going to put snaps.

The importance of this apron fitting the gentleman high under his chin:This was to be his spaghetti eating apron/bib.The couple returned the next year to let us know it worked perfectly.

EVER EATEN A   CORNY DOG AT THE TEXAS STATE FAIR?

Chances are if y'all have, it would be at Fletcher's Corny Dogs.   Pictured here are Dutch and Jenny Fletcher.     They sell   over 500,000 corny dogs, with a record of over 700,000 during the State Fair of Texas.   Why don't you show your Texas Pride and drop by and say "Howdy, I saw your picture on CharleysLogoWear.com website"?

THE TEXAS FLAG SHIRT IS A MEMORY

A lovely lady came to visit us at the State Fair   Of   Texas   2007.   This lady was rather pensive and then decided to let me know why she wanted to purchase a shirt....Her recently departed husband of many years had been buried in his Texas Shirt and she wanted one just like it so she would have a shirt to bring back pleasant memories of their lives together. DO YOU HAVE A SPARE TEXAS SHIRT? Darling, Adele   made a special trip on Thursday   to be sure she got her size and   add to the one she already has ...she left a lengthy voice mail and hoped we were here because it is senior day and she was catching the bus right then.   Even though she is coming to the fair again next Thursday, she WANTED her shirt today and was willing to ride the bus (seniors get in free Thursdays) and walk to our building just in HOPES we would be there.         She saw the red, white and blue from the door,   hurried over   to give   me a huge hug and after a bit of a   chat, she left with her new flag shirt.   She told me that she has always worn her shirt (she purchased two years ago) over another blouse so as to not get it dirty, and has washed it and it still looks new.   She wanted another   JUST IN CASE this one ever wore out.   I should have offered to sell her a Texas backpack, so she could carry the second around in case of an emergency. SOMETIMES   FAMILY   MEMBERS HAVE OTHER PLANS A   precious gentleman   came in to purchase two "have to have" things.   He purchased a solid red shirt and was so proud of the way he looked in the mirror.     Then he purchased a book bag for his 17" laptop computer.   I warned him that the   bag actually measured 16.5 inches and if it fits he would need to purchase a computer sleeve to protect the computer.   He HAD to have the bag...           with a great deal of   influence   from his wife and daughter who really HOPED the computer would not fit, so they could have the bag.         Jim Horton, who rides the high wheel bicycle in the parade daily, with his darling grandchildren.
