About the Item

Original EXPO ’74 World’s Fair Spokane, USA calendar. Archival linen backed and in excellent condition, ready to frame. As a World’s Fair calendar, you would expect this item to be relatively available. But for some reason, that is not the case anymore. Archival linen backed to help make sure this copy survives! Expo '74, officially known as the International Exposition on the Environment, Spokane 1974, was a world's fair held from May 4, 1974, to November 3, 1974, in Spokane, Washington. It was the first environmentally themed world's fair, attracting roughly 5.6 million visitors. In 1974, a World’s Fair helped Spokane eliminate unsightly railroads from its downtown riverfront and created Riverfront Park. Spokane was the smallest city ever to host a World’s Fair, so it took the hard work of countless individuals to turn Expo into a reality. First among them was King Cole, the father of Expo. Cole was working as an urban planner in San Leandro, California, when he was hired by a group of Spokane businessmen to help rejuvenate downtown Spokane. Cole was given the idea of hosting a World’s Fair, a project that would generate federal and state funding.
