Arizona centennial stamp unveiled by Postal Service: "The U.S. Postal Service has unveiled a first-class stamp commemorating Arizona's centennial in 2012.

Ed Mell, a native Arizona artist, created the stamp design, which depicts Cathedral Rock in Sedona. A 10- by 15-foot replica was displayed Friday afternoon outside the historic Prescott Courthouse.

"This majestic work of art shows the spectacular beauty of our state and the abundance of blessings Arizonans are fortunate to enjoy," Gov. Jan Brewer said.

The design's unveiling helped kick off the Best Fest in Prescott, the first in a series of Arizona centennial celebrations to continue until Statehood Day on Feb. 14. For details, call 800-266-7534 or visit az100years.org or sharlot .org.

The new stamp will be available across the U.S. starting Feb. 14."
