This year's Texas State Fair to honor Coach Landry

[DallasCowpoke]

The Dallas Historical Society is organizing and compiling some football artifacts provided by the coaching great's 80-year-old widow, Alicia Landry.

The exhibit called "Remembering Tom Landry: The Personal Collection" will run during the annual expo in Dallas, Sept. 24 through Oct. 17.

The items will be on display at the Hall of State, which also will feature the football history of north Texas as part of preparations for Cowboys Stadium in Arlington to host the Super Bowl on Feb. 6, 2011.

From the State Fair website:

CENTURY IN THE MAKING FOOTBALL PAVILION is a celebration of the greatest moments in the first 100 years of football in North Texas, all leading up to Super Bowl XLV. FREE with State Fair admission. Sponsored by Ebby Halliday.
