WASHINGTON — A life-size cutout of Gov. Kay Ivey, surrounded by pictures of state landmarks, greets visitors to “Sweet Home Alabama” at the Great American State Fair in Washington.
Nestled in one of the long, white portable buildings dotting the National Mall for America’s 250th celebration, Alabama’s pavilion spotlights “where tradition meets innovation.”
Scenes from around Alabama cover the booth’s temporary walls, featuring the U.S. Space and Rocket Center, Dexter Avenue Baptist Church and Gulf Shores, among other Alabama classics like Big Bob Gibson Bar-B-Q. Easels holding smaller posters highlight the state’s parks, industries and history.
