"Fans Fret as 52-Foot State Fair Cowboy Gets Rebuilt, Loses Voice"
DALLAS—It hasn't been the best of years for Big Tex, the 52-foot-tall animatronic cowboy who has greeted visitors to the State Fair of Texas for decades.

Moderator cut: Quote only one or two lines of text and provide link to article

Big Tex "was an icon we could look at in the midst of this city that has changed so much, but now it will be new and it will be different," said Naomi Pevsner, a 54-year-old jewelry designer from Dallas. "At least they could have given us the same voice."
