Art Festival Main Street December 1960

Over on Major Pepperidge's blog a couple of days ago, he posted a similar slide of the Art Festival which was on Main Street. His image however had a couple of the employees looking quite bohemian in their smocks, berets and rolled cuff Levis. Here is an image of the location with no employees or guests. It appears that Christmas lights are being strung up. The banner is a great piece of 1960s style and typography. Was this the banner that Howard Lowery had? If so, that would have been a great piece!!

Displayed on the racks are some artwork which appear to be hand tinted photographs of the rides at Disneyland including the Columbia and the Teacups. Here is a closer scan of the racks. Enjoy the rest of the weekend as I am taking some time off and my next post will be on Tuesday.

It's interesting to get a clearer look at the Art Festival! Those tinted prints are nicer than the so-so oil paintings, if you ask me (though I'd still take one of the paintings!).

Thanks for the post and have a great holiday weekend!
