The last time I was at the Fairgrounds was 1965. I was with my parents visiting the 1964-1965 World’s Fair. Being there brought back lots of memories. I remember eating Belgium Waffles stuffed with whipped cream. The exhibits depicting the future are now part of our daily lives. The most iconic landmark was the sphere in the center of the fair.

I can still taste those Belgium Waffles stuffed with whipped cream. I remember the exhibits depicting the future which are now part of our daily lives. The most iconic landmark was the sphere in the center of the fair.
