Pictorial Cancellations Announcement
As a community service, the Postal Service offers
pictorial cancellations to commemorate local events celebrated
in communities throughout the nation. A list of
events for which pictorial cancellations are authorized appears
below. If available, the sponsor of the pictorial cancellation
appears in italics under the date. Also provided,
as space permits, are illustrations of those cancellations
that were reproducible and available at press time.
People attending these local events may obtain the
cancellation in person at the temporary Post Office station
established there. Those who cannot attend the event,
but who wish to obtain the cancellation, may submit a
mail order request. Pictorial cancellations are available
only for the dates indicated, and requests must be postmarked
no later than 30 days following the requested pictorial
cancellation date.
All requests must include a stamped envelope or postcard
bearing at least the minimum First-Class Mail postage.
Items submitted for cancellation may not include
postage issued after the date of the requested cancellation.
Such items will be returned unserviced.
Customers wishing to obtain a cancellation should affix
stamps to any envelope or postcard of their choice, address
the envelope or postcard to themselves or others,
insert a card of postcard thickness in envelopes for sturdiness,
and tuck in the flap. Place the envelope or postcard
in a larger envelope and address it to: PICTORIAL CAN-
CELLATIONS, followed by the NAME OF THE STATION,
ADDRESS, CITY, STATE, ZIP+4 CODE, exactly as listed
below (using all capitals and no punctuation, except the
hyphen in the ZIP+4 code).
Customers can also send stamped envelopes and
postcards without addresses for cancellation, as long as
they supply a larger envelope with adequate postage and
their return address. After applying the pictorial cancellation,
the Postal Service returns the items (with or without
addresses) under addressed protective cover.
The following cancellation has been extended for 30 days.
