Shari Hemsley’s poem succinctly captures the unlikely stars of the fair: the cloven hooved, the side eyed, the woolly and the feathery. Her words honor the animals as much as the thrill of the fair itself.
It’s been a delight and an honor to participate in the Poster Project for a second time, fifteen years after the first. The project is a lovely reflection of the spirit of CNY as well as the people—and animals!—that live here.
The finest forelock,
primping feathers, wool and fur;
side eyes on the prize
