Thought I would share photos of my auto tag concession we used at the fair for 25 years.It has over 500 hand painted tags on the wall and ceiling to give customers ideas of how they would like their tag painted.The signage on the trailer is hand painted,which took me a month back in 1985.

George, I used to travel to some fairs and certainly the big car shows such as the Charlotte Auto Fair in the spring,but due to heavy traffic on the interstate, I kinda stopped doing it. One thing about auto tags...there's never 2 alike. It takes me about 3 minutes to do a one color and usually 4-6 to do a shaded one.

Now that is a carnival trailer I'd buy something from. So cool because all the tags are painted and YOU, the artist, get to choose the "font". Love it, thanks for posting pix. It's eye-catching, fun, and very unique. I'm sure your work practically sells itself. Love....Jill
