Opening day crowds, Century 21 Exposition (Seattle World's Fair).“President Kennedy opened the long-awaited space-age Seattle World’s Fair by tapping a golden telegraph key in Palm Beach. The same key was used by President Taft on June 1, 1909, to begin the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition in Seattle…Thousands of first-day visitors began filling the 74-acre fairgrounds as the time neared for the grand-opening ceremony in the Memorial Stadium.” (Stanton H.
