Alaska State Fair Poster 2002
Original painting by artist Gail Niebrugge for the 2002 Alaska State Fair Poster.
Yesterday I had several requests to sign copies of the poster I created for the 2002 fair, titled “Its Bloomin’ Fun”. One booth, the Cornucopia, has a collection of 20-25 posters from past years all framed and hung on the walls and ceiling inside their tiny building. The staff was so sweet to me, after signing my poster they offered me a choice of any of their excellent ice cream treats. I just had to have almond praline ice cream in a waffle bowl dipped in chocolate with two spoons and lots of napkins. Even though ice cream is not on our diet, Bob and I ate every last delicious bite. Fair food is absolutely decadent and necessary!
