The Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition (AYPE) was a world's fair held in Seattle in 1909. It was a major national event for the young but fast growing city, and celebrated the emerging development of the Pacific Northwest. The fairgrounds became the campus of the University of Washington. Many days were designated for special celebrations, honoring causes, industries, and places. Ohio Day was celebrated on October 5th. Leading the festivities was the Ohio Society of Seattle, a group made up of Seattleites who were originally from the Buckeye State. 1 Ribbon, Commemorative; Materials: silk; Dimensions: 6 in.H x 2.25 in.W
