Thursday,

June 18, 1964

From the desk of Mrs. Jane Price Sharp

 

1964 World’s Fair –

New York City

It was a big trip with lots of looking crowded into four full days, but we saw some of about everything. It will take some time to digest everything. But it is a worthwhile trip and some say it will be the last on such a magnificent scale because of the huge costs.

General Motors is said to have spent forty million dollars on their exhibit, but they can and do handle 5,000 visitors an hour so it is good advertising.

And so is West Virginia’s Pavilion good advertising.

Of course, it should be economically run and the money well accounted for, but we need to be there. Not all states have exhibits but many more people will know about West Virginia when the Fair is over. Seven attractions in Pocahontas County are listed on the big State map. A short walk through a coal mine brings you out to a display of our beautiful glassware. And the glass blowers showing their skill in actual work is a star attraction. A mountain top home will be given to some registrant. A six minute movie plus other exhibits give a picture of radio astronomy. There is a glassware shop, a souvenir shop, and a restaurant with modest prices. I forgot the cardinals in the cage as you enter…
