Minn. State Fair Commemorative Art To Be Unveiled

FALCON HEIGHTS, Minn. (AP) -- The commemorative artwork for the 2013 Minnesota State Fair will soon be unveiled.

Minneapolis artist Marie Olofsdotter was chosen from among nearly 30 applicants to create the State Fair's official 2013 commemorative art. She'll unveil her artwork at the J.V. Bailey House on the Minnesota State Fairgrounds at 11 a.m. Wednesday.

This year's edition is the 10th in a series of annual artwork created exclusively for the State Fair. The commemorative poster, a limited number of signed prints and other merchandise will be available for purchase after the unveiling on the Minnesota State Fair Foundation website.
