The excessive heat forced some safety changes at the North Texas Fair and Rodeo, which opened Friday evening in Denton. Event organizers are delaying opening some parts of the fair to avoid the hottest temperatures of the day.
The excessive heat forced some safety changes at the North Texas Fair and Rodeo, which opened Friday evening in Denton.
The North Texas Fair and Rodeo says it has 100,000 square feet of shade and two air-conditioned buildings for people. There are more than 700 volunteers driving carts around on the grounds. They all have a cooler with free water. A notice in front of the carnival area says because of the heat the rides will not start until 7 p.m. daily. Typically, the rides start at 1 p.m. on the weekends.
Inside the livestock barns, there are fans on every stall. Owners wash down the animals to keep them cool. "We’re an august event. We’ve always been a night-time event. Our biggest crowds always come at night, so it’s nothing new," Carlton said.
