I'm a longtime fan of the 1964-65 World's Fair. As a kid, this brochure made me think the grand old days of the World's Fair were back. The 1986 World Exposition or Expo '86 brochure heralded "The U.S.A. U.S.S.R. and the People's Republic of China together on one site." For me though, it was the wonders of transportation and technology the Expo promised that appealed to me. One-day tickets cost $15, with a season ticket available for $86. "Children 5 years and under admitted free!"
Sadly given the distance, and the relatively short duration of the fair (May 2 - Oct 13, 1986) I didn't get to go. I did recently get to go to the site of the 1964 fair. But that's a story for another day...
