NEW State Fair Exhibit to Honor Princess Diana on 10th Anniversary

 

Author Susan Skinner presents “Diana: Memory of a Rose” exhibit at the 2007 State Fair

Special Tribute Presentation Planned for August 31

 

SACRAMENTO, CA (June 29, 2007) – On Aug. 31, 1997 the world lost its princess. Commemorating the 10th anniversary of Princess Diana’s death, the State Fair and author Susan Maxwell Skinner present “Diana: Memory of A Rose” – an Exhibit honoring Princess Diana.

 

As a member of Buckingham Palace’s accredited press corps, Skinner covered the Royal Family for eight years. She has written three books on her years with Diana. For the first time, the author has loaned her precious vintage Dianabilia collection for public viewing. Each day of the State Fair, Susan will be available between 3pm and 6pm to meet Diana fans and to discuss the exhibit. Her books will be available for purchase and signing. Continuing Diana's work for children, ten percent of book sales will be donated to the Friends of the California State Fair Scholarship Program.
