My family is participating in FFA and 4-H stockshows that take place at fairgrounds and some indoor show arenas is legal to carry at these as long as no 30-06 sign

Per the statues to which pbwalker linked, you can carry at the TX State Fair because the city owns the land. Also, per their website: http://www.bigtex.com/sft/guestinfo/FAQs.asp

"What about concealed handguns?

A person holding a valid Texas Concealed Handgun License (or valid CHL from a reciprocating state) is permitted to enter onto State Fair property with his/her concealed handgun; provided, however, that CHL holders will not be permitted to carry their concealed handgun inside the Cotton Bowl Stadium, a facility defined under Texas Penal Code ยง46.035 as "the premises where a high school, collegiate or professional sporting event or interscholastic event is taking place." Note that the Fair does not provide lockers for the storage or checking of weapons for CHL holders, so if you plan to attend a game or event in the Cotton Bowl, please secure your weapon at home or in your vehicle prior to entering the fairgrounds. We want the Fair to be a fun and safe experience."

You can do a search of the forums for State Fair to get to the *many* other questions and responses that have been asked about this topic and the Fair. Hope that helps.

I don't know about fairgrounds in general, other than the state fair. I do know the Ft Worth Stock Show is 30.06 posted.
