Description	Closing ceremonies of the Century 21 Exposition (Seattle World’s Fair). “The World’s Fair will say farewell to Seattle today in a sentimental closing program of ‘spectacular’ proportions…A thousand marching musicians, fair and government officers, singers, $10,000 worth of fireworks and the young persons who will be Century 21 leaders will be wrapped into a two-hour finale to the fair…The colorful fireworks will show Mount Rainier, the fair’s man-in-space symbol, flags of the United Nations, a rocket blasting off, a satellite in orbit and an 80-foot-high Space Needle.” (Seattle Times, October 21, 1962, p.
