A typo is now fixed after it was first spotted on a welcome sign for the State Fair of Texas. The mistake went viral garnering lots of attention online.
The sign for the annual state fair in Dallas was meant to read "Howdy folks! We're glad you're here," but instead read "Howdy folks! We're glad your here." The jokes soon followed.
The grammatical differences between "your" and "you're" aside, the State Fair of Texas quickly acknowledged and corrected the mistake, posting a video on X of the fair's mascot, Little Big Tex, a smaller version of Big Tex, the iconic 55-foot statue on the fairgrounds.
"This is what happens when we let Little Big Tex proofread, but we’re so glad YOU’RE here," the post with the video read, showing Little Big Tex looking embarrassed by the typo, reading dictionaries and stylebooks, then taking a drill to fix the sign himself.
The State Fair of Texas started in September and runs through Oct. 22.
