The 97 annual East Texas State Fair kicked off Friday.
The 10-day long event has some new additions to the line up this year.
John Sykes tells KETK new additions to this year's line up include a large covered tent in the designated beer drinking area, a rainforest exhibit from Illinois, the "Agriworld" area, and several educational and interactive programs.
There are also new corn dogs.
Sykes says this year's vendor beat out the Texas State Fair in a blind taste test.
Recent analysis showed the fair has a $7.2 million dollar economic impact on Tyler alone.
The East Texas State Fair runs daily through September 30.
It's located at 2112 W. Front St. in Tyler.

People are funny creatures. I visited the fair Saturday and though I'm too old to enjoy the Midway, I love to see the arts and crafts exhibits and yes, I'll even stop and get a corn dog if my wife isn't standing with me. While in the vendors line a middle-age woman standing behind me was complaining to her group about smoke. About her complaints, I did notice the smoke from cookers was strong. I turned to agree when I saw it was a fellow smoking a cigarette 20 feet away that had her angry -!??!
