We dont live all that far from NYC in Pittsburgh, but i have the feeling my parents figured we were too young, with me the oldest of three turning only 8 years old in 1964. My youngest sister was only just 4 in 1965. :(<br /><br />I think they should do it again now that I can go myself!!Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09895614694411482044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-53262950305012912972012-07-25T23:13:32.822-07:002012-07-25T23:13:32.822-07:00Nancy, I forget, did you get to go to the Fair?

A sunny day always makes things nicer :-)<br /><br />The Ford pav. reminds me of something out of the Flintstones, as Major said has a skeleton look. I wish they had left these things for us to enjoy <br /><br />The horses are gorgeous, wish we could see them better. I have always thought those chairs were cool, I would have sat in one for a snap!Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09895614694411482044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-60320755532126951942012-07-25T10:54:51.694-07:002012-07-25T10:54:51.694-07:00Bill, I only wish that the first photo was backlit...Bill, I only wish that the first photo was backlit… makes everything kind of gray. Meanwhile, the second photo with the 100 foot pythons is more like it!<br /><br />Alonzo, I will stand upon my head 'til my ears are turning red.<br /><br />Snow White Archive, yes, those are chairs, as Bill Cotter informs us. I think they look kind of neat in a mid-century modern sort of way.<br /><br />K. Martinez, old Cal Worthington is still at it, I just saw one of his commercials the other day.<br /><br />Bill, thanks as always for the information. And I can imagine that a place to rest your weary feet would be welcome - and probably hard to find at the time.<br /><br />Anon, I wonder if Cal knows how big a part of SoCal life he has been?!Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-79994435995122313892012-07-25T10:48:31.155-07:002012-07-25T10:48:31.155-07:00@Alonzo

You can still see the base for one over near the Hall of Science.<br /><br />The blue chairs were actually at the Chrysler pavilion and ringed the fountain area there. They may not look comfortable in that picture but they sure were appreciated when you wanted to rest your feet from hiking the fair site. Unless you've been there you can't appreciate how big the place is. A few of them survive today and are owned by collectors.Bill Cotterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919421524103940589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-68447764284913485442012-07-25T07:32:00.730-07:002012-07-25T07:32:00.730-07:00APH, I'm from Nor.

Cal, but I remember those commercials when I stayed with my cousins in Culver City many a summer in the 1970s. <br /><br />I'm curious about those Lowenbrau blue "chairs" too. Maybe people dipped their feet into the water for relief from walking. Interesting to say the least.K.

Where else could you see a tower made of stacked folding chairs and a cowboy wearing an orange leather jacket at the same time? And then you can go to the vast rotunda surrounded by 64 100-foot pythons.<br /><br />Those were the days!!<br /><br />Bill in DenverAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
