I remember the fireworks on the upper level, the minature golf. I can remember a tent covered farm exhibit every year around Easter where us suburban kids got to see real livestock! I can remember seeing local groups such as The Acid Sette and the Poets perform on the lower lot around '67 or '68. Again, thanks for the memories.

Or, who can forget the annual Fourth Of July fireworks display on the parking lot of the upper level? The VP Fair had NOTHING on it!

There are so many memories I have of that place, and everytime I get to look at your pictures I return to the sixties, and become again the little boy that I was. Thank-you very much.
