Oh, I liked the foreign exhibits. But I tended to like stuff most other kids didn’t care for. Do you remember they had people sitting at tables that if you gave them a buck or two, they’d write your name in that particular foreign language ?
Funny, I don’t remember the Ferris Wheel...
A lot of people likely couldn't find it. The overall layout wasn't that good because of limited land aviability. The rides were down past the China exibit away from all other exhibits along the river on UT property. I don't know who decided to put the fair in that location but right through the middle of it was a railroad track. Every morning before opening time a train went through and back again at night. The location was actually largely built on the old Knoxville L&N Rail Road Depot land.
