Astronauts, Elvis, sky rides, royalty, the Kennedys, religion, topless showgirls, the Canadian tattoo, the Cold War and futurist speculation ‒ the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair had it all and tonight the Ballard Historical Society is giving people a chance to revisit the era.

The Ballard Historical Society is hosting the authors of "The Future Remembered: The 1962 Seattle World’s Fair and Its Legacy" ‒ a new, coffee-table-style book filled with fascinating history, stories and pictures to celebrate the fair’s upcoming 50th anniversary.

Authors Paula Becker and Alan J. Stein will be giving a slide show and talk about the World's Fair at 7 p.m. at the Sunset Hill Community Center, 3003 NW 66th Street.

The presentation is free and open to all.
