Differences between 1948 and 1949

[edit]

Looking around today, I've found a few sites that mention specific equipment at the fair in 1948 that aren't listed in the 1949 program that I was using as a reference. For now, integrating the data into the existing lists seems to work, but I wonder if some of the 1949 data didn't apply to the 1948 fair. As I find more information, I'll be sure to update this too.

Entrance photo source

[edit]

The first photo, showing the 1949 entrance, should be be credited to the Joe and Jeanette Archive, not the "... Archie."Kdammers (talk) 17:40, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

an article

[edit]

An article about the fairs, written by Chicago historian R. C. Lindbgerg, was printed in the Summer 2016 Chicagoly Magazine, pp. 12-14, "Summertime Joy In The 1940s" (caps in original). Kdammers (talk) 17:43, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
