The poster to be used to promote the first Pyramid Hill Art Fair Oct. 10-12 was designed by Enquirer editorial cartoonist Jim Borgman.

Borgman unveiled the poster Thursday at the Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park in Hamilton.

"We will put the poster in stores, community centers, churches and schools throughout the city to promote the fair," said Shaun Higgins, assistant director of the park.
