A couple's love story began at the West Texas Fair and Rodeo. Cecil and Jodie Meadows met at the fair when they were 16 and 17 years old. This chance encounter occurred on September 12, 1977.

The fair was hosting an Elvis Presley impersonator at the Coliseum that year. For the Meadows, the fair is more than a yearly tradition, it holds special meaning as the place where their love story started.

Further details about the couple and their story are available from the source, including how their relationship has endured over the years, now spanning 49 years.
