Have a great time at the show. That spider is why I live where there is still snow on the ground in April. They don't have time to grow so dang big.

No big spiders, just Grizzly bears. They eat the hoppers just fine. who's gonna stop them anyway?
Everything is bigger in Texas!!

The spider is cool! That big ole Charlotte must've eaten some big ole bugs!!!
