The Tex Factor

The National Multicultural Western Heritage Museum tells the real history of the West that Hollywood movies and many books left out. The Tex Factor takes you to Fort Worth’s historic Stockyards to see the museum’s collection of clothing, weapons, artwork, tools, and saddles used by famous Native Americans, Buffalo Soldiers, and Hall of Fame cowboys and cowgirls of color.

H.R. Pufnstuf, Sigmund and the Sea Monsters, Land of the Lost, and Lidsville are just a few of the 26 television shows and specials Sid and Marty Krofft created in the late 60s, 70s, and 80s. The Tex Factor takes you behind the scenes with Sid Krofft to learn about his 81 years in entertainment, his Texas roots and much more.

The Tex Factor is celebrating all things odd, curious, and collectable. From human teeth jewelry and ghost sightings to outrageous artwork and even an antique morgue table. And wait till you see the local couple’s collection at home. See why North Texans are so enamored with taxidermy, crazy art, human bones, and the macabre.

The Tex Factor talked to newly-famed farmers Allen, Hunter, Ryan, and Landon while shooting a segment for FOX’s “Farmer Wants a Wife” during the fair.

From machine guns and sniper rifles to shotguns and ticking suitcase bombs, the one thing that makes this 15,000 square foot, 2-story laser combat arena even more awesome than it already is, is that it’s owned by a Marine veteran who grew up right here in North Texas. 

One of Aaron Powell’s employees talked him into appearing on Shark Tank, so he dove in headfirst, pitching his Bunch Bike, an electric cargo bike with room in front for dogs, kids, groceries, and more. Learn why Bunch Bikes is changing the lives of first responders, educators, people with disabilities, and a North Texas mother with identical quadruplet sons.

Texas storms can be severe and where there’s severe weather, you can bet storm chasers Russ Contreras and Ryan Darr aren’t far behind.
