Seymore D. Fair

Seymore D'Fair (alternatively Seymour D'Fair, and sometimes called Seymore de Faire or Seymour d'Fair) is a cartoon animal and costumed character who was the official mascot of the 1984 Louisiana World Exposition. Seymore is an anthropomorphic white pelican who typically wears a blue tuxedo jacket, top hat, spats, and white gloves. His name is derived from the New Orleans phrase "see more of the fair". He was the first-ever character mascot in the history of World Expositions.

Seymore promoted the New Orleans World's Fair in Los Angeles, New York, Paris, and London. During the 1984 Republican National Convention, he interacted on stage with George H. W. Bush, Vice-President of the United States, and numerous Chiefs of State. In Washington, D.C., he met Billy Joel at the White House, entertaining wives of Russian diplomats.
