Seymore D. Fair | Aminal Welfare Advocate: Seymore D’ Fair (a.k.a. Seymour D. Fair) is a funny cartoon & costume character who was the official mascot of the 1984 Louisiana World Exposition. His witty name is derived from the N’Awlins “Yat” phrase “See more of the fair”.

He has the unique distinction of being the “World’s 1st-Ever” character mascot in the history of Bureau International des Expositions (BIE) World’s Fairs & Expositions. Seymore’s magical and whimsical personality contributed greatly to him becoming the most recognizable World's Fair mascot in the modern age of International Expositions and World’s Fairs. As a result, he has garnered numerous honors and special recognition on a local, state, national, and international level. Seymore’s exemplary contributions to Louisiana and World Expositions earned him an exhibition & induction into the Louisiana State Museum, the Smithsonian Institute – National Museum of American History as well as being appointed “Goodwill Ambassador” for the State of Louisiana.
