Thanks everyone for the great support of the Faces of the Fair project. We photographed over 3500 faces this year for the 2011 montage. If you have suggestions for next year's poster, let me know.

Faces of the Fair 2010
is now on display at the
Arts & Crafts (#24) and Fine Arts (#2) Buildings
at the Canfield Fair.

Postcards, prints, and posters are available
for purchase. There is no charge to be photographed
for the 2011 Faces of the Fair montage.

To read more about what's new at the Fine Arts Building,

Over four dozen senior artists from the Briarfield Group created the
paintings used to make this montage. Mary Meese of Ashley Circle
painted the large image, Purple Mountains Majesty, in 2009.
