Dear Mrs. Mead, We reached here by a route down the Oregon coast and over the red wood highway - a delightful trip. The exposition is very beautiful. From her we to go Yosemite, Los Angeles, Grand Canyon, etc. Hope you are well. Love, Grace!Entry at Learn California
Dear Mrs. Page: / How are you? I am home from my sisters, had a lovely time and a real rest. / Sincerely, / Marie VederLook at these fabulous colors! They mesmerize me. The description of another postcard of the Expo describes them as one of many "glamorous scenes of electrical wizardry revealed to the thousands visiting the Great Lakes Exposition." According to the online Encyclopedia of Cleveland, the Great Lakes Exposition held two seasons from 1936-1937 to celebrate Cleveland's centennial. Along with the Hall of Progress, Marine Theater, Court of Presidents, and Automobile exhibit, the 135 acre attraction had a midway with rides and sideshows, a "Streets of the World" area with 200 vendors offering food and wares from around the world, an art gallery, and an arboretum. Now, only some gardens remain.
