I have some L.A. County Fair memorabilia I got doing research for designing a series of 9 posters for the Fair years ago! Also redesigned their mascot “Thummer” when he was re-introduced in 1989. My original acrylic 30″x18″ Fair art is in a collection somewhere now. Some of the printed posters sell on eBay occasionally.
