Candy Evans and John Anderson are hosting an important panel discussion on the future of Fair Park and why everyone in North Dallas and across the city should be fully informed about the current plan to turn 277 acres of our city over to a private entity.

Panelists include Don Williams of the Foundation for Community Empowerment, Bryon Carlock of Price Waterhouse Coopers, State Representative Eric Johnson, and former Dallas City Council member Angela Hunt.

Fair Park is much more than an assemblage of buildings; it’s a district telling dozens of stories from dozens of cultures. At the original Main Gate on Parry Avenue, [you can] see tan columns exhibiting the classic art deco style that made the park famous when it served as host site of the Texas Centennial Exposition in 1936.

Architect George Dahl employed this majestic design, infusing it with elements of Southwestern art on existing and new buildings, and the overwhelming success of the centennial – six million people visited, including President Franklin D. Roosevelt – helped pull Dallas out of the Depression.
