The State Fair of Texas is in full swing, which means Longhorn and Sooners fans are suiting up. Whether y’all are looking for pre/postgame fun or a place to enjoy every tackle and touchdown, the Dallas Farmers Market has a winning weekend lineup.

Kick off the day with Big Daddy Beard, home to the highest quality, most luxurious handcrafted products, including beard oil, beard balm, bar soap, shampoo and conditioner, and tattoo butter. Cody will be handing off Miller Lite and Modelo to eligible players, plus Horns Up and Horns Down Koozies and stickers for the first 50 Texas and first 50 Oklahoma fans. The big game will be televised in the store, so take your time shopping, because not only do they carry their own amazing Big Daddy Beard line, they also offer exceptional gifts for men like Horn Legend polos, fine cigars, seasonings, and whiskey chilling stones. 

A shuffle through Bullzerk is a Big D Must Do, and a guaranteed way to add happiness to your day no matter which team leads. Owner Dan Bradley and his entire team proudly provide distinctively different tees and swag for UT and Oklahoma, as well as other hyperlocal humor and fun, including hand-sewn hats, printed totes, pennants, and so much more. Bullzerk started in 2014 with one manual printing press in the back of a converted bar on Lowest Greenville, and even though they have transformed into DFW’s #1 gift shop, they still print every shirt manually at their warehouse location on Hall St.

When a timeout is needed, Rex’s Seafood and Market offers a Game Day Menu full of unique options such as fried grouper sliders, salmon hot dogs, and buffalo shrimp dip. Fan favorites like wings, loaded fries, and beer-battered onion rings can also be scored. Enjoy football and refreshments on the patio, including 12 rotating taps, can or bottled beers, as well as wine by the glass.

 

Or if good old-fashioned tailgating is your ultimate victory, rush to The 2nd Tap where they’re featuring Austin and Oklahoma beers, as well as multiple screens with the sound up for your thorough Red River Showdown viewing pleasure. 

Make DFM a part of your weekend, because no matter who prevails at the Cotton Bowl, Dallas Farmers Market patrons win big by supporting local!
