Why the stamp was issued: To celebrate the tradition of state and county fairs in America.
About the stamp design: Pictures a sweets stand with children looking through the glass display and buying a candy apple. Original artwork by Mick Wiggins.
First Day City: The First Day of Issue Ceremony was held at the North Dakota State Fair in Minot, North Dakota.
About the State and County Fairs: Includes four stamps which fit together to form a panorama of fair activities: farmers unloading produce behind a white fence, a child holding a chicken sits atop the same fence with carnival rides in the background, fairgoers admiring livestock behind the fence while others walk with balloons in their hands, and a sweets stand. Original artwork by Mick Wiggins.
History the stamp represents: In addition to all the fun rides and exhibits at state and county fairs, one of the biggest draws to these events is the food. Whether it be salty or sweet, fair food is something difficult to resist.
One of the most famous sweet snacks sold at fairs across America is cotton candy. This fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth treat first appeared around the 19th century in Europe and was known as spn sugar. It was difficult to make and very expensive until a machine was invented to simplify the process in 1897. After that, the delicious confection became much more affordable and the general public was finally able to sample the sweet treat.
Today, you can find cotton candy being sold in bags or on sticks at almost any fair. The most famous colors are pink and blue, but sometimes green, purple, or yellow make an appearance, too. In fact, some cotton candy makers have made it their mission to create artistic masterpieces out of the treat. This includes rainbow hearts, flying saucers, and even animals.
Whether child or adult, it’s not easy to resist the cotton candy vendor at a fair. Especially after a day of salty snacks like popcorn, blooming onions, and French fries. There is no better way to finish up a day at the fair than with this light and airy treat.
