Disney Legend Rolly Crump will be attending Louie Garcia's Disney Fun Fair this Sunday June 26 from 12:00 - 4:00 pm at the Coast Anaheim Hotel (1855 S. Harbor Blvd, Anaheim, CA). As part of the event, Rolly Crump discuss the impact Disney Legend Artist Mary Blair had on his career. In tribute to Mary Blair, Rolly has created "Celebration of ... Mary Blair" a limited collection of artwork inspired by his mentor. Rolly worked along side Mary Blair for the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair attraction and through the transition of "it's a small world" to Disneyland in California.  His 8 original paintings and 3 paper mache items reflect her artistic stylings as featured in the popular attraction "it's a small world".
