Submitted Photo The new State and County Fair stamps are a series of four stamps depicting a fair scene.

The U.S. Postal Service is celebrating America’s state and county fairs with the issuance of four stamps.

David Williams, U.S. Postal Service chief operating officer and executive vice president, will be at the North Dakota State Fair July 25 for the 11 a.m. unveiling at Stage 2.

The whimsical artwork of the stamps is meant to evoke a nostalgic feeling for America’s fairs past and present. The stamps show a traditional fair theme where communities gather to socialize and have fun.

News of the stamps is being shared with the hashtags #StateFairsStamps, #StateCountyFairsStamps and #CountyFairsStamps. Also, a video of the stamps unveiling ceremony will be shown live on Facebook.com/usps.

The colorful se-tenant stamps — one scene across four stamps –celebrate the fun of America’s state and county fairs. One stamp shows farmers unloading produce behind a white fence. In the second stamp, a child holding a chicken sits atop the same fence, with carnival rides–a Ferris wheel and merry-go-round–in the background. Those rides can be seen in the third stamp, where some fairgoers admire the livestock behind the fence while others walk, balloons in hand, toward a sweets stand. The last stamp shows children at the stand buying treats from the vendor.

The art director was Greg Breeding. Mike Ryan designed the stamps with original art by Mick Wiggins.

The stamps are being issued as Forever stamps and will always be equal in value to the current First-Class Mail 1-ounce price.

The stamps will be available for purchase July 25. Pre-orders for the State and County Fairs stamps can be reserved through The Postal Store at usps.com/shop.
