A picture taken during the Iowa State Fair could soon be seen on envelopes across the country. The picture shows the big Ferris wheel at the fair and is part of a series of 10 stamps depicting images at carnivals or fairs as part of the Carnival Nights series.

The photo was captured by Phil Roeder, an accomplished photographer and the communications director at Des Moines Public Schools. Roeder says he’s excited to be part of the project, and just as excited to be able to highlight the fair.
