Title	A Toast to the Fair
Identifier	spl_c21_2711292
Description	Brochure from christening of the Space Needle, Century 21 Exposition (Seattle World's Fair). Includes Space Needle statistics, text of "A Toast to the Fair" by Eric Johnston, and text of monologue by Henry Broderick. “The Space Needle, a modernistic totem of the Seattle World’s Fair, was conceived by Eddie Carlson as a doodle in 1959 and given form by architects John Graham Jr., Victor Steinbrueck, and John Ridley. When King County declined to fund the project, five private investors, Bagley Wright, Ned Skinner, Norton Clapp, John Graham Jr., and Howard S. Wright, took over and built the 605-foot tower in less than a year.” (Walt Crowley, “Space Needle (Seattle).” HistoryLink.org, http://historylink.org/index.cfm?DisplayPage=output.cfm&file_id=1424)
