(KNUE-FM) Texas has lots of really cool things to see and explore and that list continues to grow. We know that there are sporting events and music concerts going on all the time, there are also really fun monuments and museums but recently the city of Garland, Texas decided they wanted to add the biggest cowboy hat in Texas to that list.

Why Garland Built a 20-Foot Cowboy Hat

With the cowboy culture still alive and well in Texas, why not add a 20-foot cowboy hat to the downtown area of Garland? It sounds like a good idea and could help generate even more fun in the downtown area. Plus, we all know the saying that everything is bigger in Texas, and a 20-foot cowboy hat fits that slogan perfectly.

While it might sound a little funny to put a huge cowboy hat in the middle of town, it will also be a hit for anyone walking by, because you know it will be a hot spot for anyone who wants to take pictures or videos and post those on social media.
