The film chronicles the history of the State Fair of Texas beginning in 1886. It covers the banning of gambling at the fair, early Midway rides and some of Dallas' firsts such as electric lights, power stations and air planes. Old stock footage of the State Fair shows why it attracted people from all over the country. It includes scenes from the bake-offs and cook-offs held annually, plus a comical scene that has women singing a song about SPAM. A Fair to Remember also shows foods that have been included at the fair. Interviews of attendees provide a look into historical Dallas.
