Would it be the start of the State Fair of Texas if WFAA 8 Dallas-Fort Worth Daybreak morning reporter Sean Giggy didn't hop aboard a ride for a live shot?
This year, Giggy rode the new thriller The Kraken while also conducting an interview. I'm not sure it went well, though, as the control room switched quickly back to the anchors!
Shoutout to WFAA Assistant Director of Photography Martin Doporto, who tried to get it all on camera. The NPPA training was probably invaluable for this assignment.
Meanwhile, up the DFW dial, CBS News Texas tried new food and played midway games with Ross Matthews and Valerie Bertinelli from "The Drew Barrymore Show." And yes, if I ever met Bertinelli, I probably wouldn't be able to contain Eddie Van Halen questions.
