I ran into this really interesting (to me) article about the 50th anniversary of the Spokane Expo. They are planning on commemorating it. I definitely have some Spokane sights on my bucket list so may need to get there this year for this. My brother and I went to this Fair with our grandparents. It is funny that what I mostly remember is singing American Pie along with the radio from the back seat as we drove there. It is funny how childhood memory works. I was the same age as William is now so it will likely be unexpected things that he remembers from his time with us too. Anyway, here are photos that prove that we were there:
I was there!!! My dad and his wife lived in Spokane, so during my summer visit we went there, more than once as I recall. As I am a few years older than you, I remember more than the song I listened to in the car. 😉 And over the years until my dad died, Riverfront Park was often a destination for a stroll when we visited. I’d love to go back for the anniversary, but don’t know if we can get away, and have no family there anymore.
That is cool that you were there too!!! I hope you are able to go back.
I know I wrote a short comment about this, but I have no idea what happened to it!
It’s good to know that Michelle was there too! I can’t help but wonder if we may have been there at the same time. It’s a small world, isn’t it?
We haven’t been able to visit my husband’s younger brother and his wife, very often. They’ve lived in Spokane for quite a few years.
We definitely could have been there at the same time. It’s too bad that you haven’t been able to visit your brother-in-law.
