From the Back Cover
Your round-trip ticket to the wildest, wackiest, most outrageous people, places, and things the Lone Star State has to offer! Whether you’re a born-and-raised Texan, a recent transplant, or just passing through, Texas Curiosities will have you laughing out loud as John Kelso and Sharry Buckner take you on a rollicking tour of the strangest sides of the Lone Star State.
Visit 12,000-pound rhinos and hippos along Interstate 35; Stephenville’s fiberglass Holstein, Moo-La; and the too-many-to-count antlers on a 15-foot deer-horn tree.
Meet a cross-dressing, three-time mayoral candidate and a corn-artifact-collecting connoisseur.
Check out a sprinkling of oatmeal flakes from the sky and a blow-the-biggest-bubble chewing gum contest—a sticky situation you’ll love getting into!
