| These are photos I took at the 1984 World's Fair. Despite generally lukewarm reviews of the fair, my family and I loved it. We were there constantly and enjoyed every minute of it. I hope these photos bring back some happy memories for you. Nancy |

| I loved the setting for the carousel and spent a good deal of time resting from the long walks and people-watching on the benches in the area in the picture below. |
| There were a lot of mermaids and alligators milling about...of (mostly) the decorative variety. |
| The Louisiana Pavilion...appropriately, "Rain" was the state's theme. |

| My friends, Marion Laudumiey, on the left, and Mary Andollina, on the right, (facing the camera) wait in line at the Roman Candy Man's wagon. |
| Our neighbor's daughter (in gray blouse), heading toward Italian Plaza, where we all enjoyed many a great meal while the Fair was open. |
| Back in the day when you needed a horse or mule to make deliveries: the original Evans Creole Candy wagon. Located in the French Quarter, Evans has been making pralines since 1900 and they branched out to include other candies in 1968. |
| The Gondola rides across the Mississippi River were everybody's favorite. But not mine! I'm not that fond of heights--especially in a gondola high above the river when there's a stiff breeze blowing! After one ride, I watched them from the ground, while everyone else had the adventure high in the sky. |

| These two were not taken at the Fair. They're pictures of the Fair's mascot, Seymour D. Fair, making an appearance at a Saints game in the Dome. In the one on the right, I asked Seymour to smile for the camera. It's kind of hard to tell if he did. :-) |

| The African Queen was at the Fair...so much smaller than it looks in the movie. |
