The first year (sadly) I do not have any documentation of the 50's Dinner theme, in which we created a 4 foot milkshake, complete with striped straw and glitter covered cherry on top. Was super fabulous....
The second year, was a Carnival theme, we went for under the big top direction and created huge elephant, fortune teller and circus topper over the stage.
The third year, was a Hawian theme, we created a huge Tiki head with a paper lei over the entrance door, flamingo, pelican and surf board pointing the way. Outisde the auditorium door was a 5 foot, fufu drink that was the thank you board for all the parent volunteers who work tirelessly to run the whole operation smoothly.
This year, the official theme is Story Laboratory, to liven' things up we went the Mad Scientist direction....natch, and created a gigantic Einsteinesque head for over the door. Other elements joining the Einstein head will be a robot, beaker as thank you sign for volunteers and currently in the works in a huge brain that will rest on the floor just outside the auditorium. We install next week for start of the fair Friday Jan. 18th., so I will posted pics of the everything installed next week.
Reception desk fashioned from recycled books, many are old text books and retired Encyclopedia Britannicas.
MDF Play sctruture and backroom party room wallpaper and recycled patch work wood panel floor pictured above.
Above image, reused remains of backroom wallpaper for bathroom wall treatment and sections of a Trader Joes paper grocery bag. If you look carefully you can see their website printed on part of the bag that was reused for the flower center.
Below image, front of bathroom and electrical closet door. I wanted to mark the doors in an interesting way that would indicate what each door led to. I wanted to use a big icon for each one; the electrical closet is a lightening bolt, the music closet is a head phone and the bathroom is a male and female bathroom symbol combined. One half is the boy figure painted in dark green and the other half is the girl figure painted in light green.
Storage cubbies made from recycled milk crates.
What do you think?

I love the look of the clean MDF, but I know it will get dirty quickly, so we plan to seal it with a coat of clear poly.
More pictures soon!
