Dug up a couple 1962 Seattle World’s Fair items for you this evening. First up is a guide handed out at the United States Science Exhibit during the fair. The spread covered six and a half acres among five buildings showing the history, philosophy, and findings of then present-day science. Check out pages 2 and 3 of the guide for the overhead map. Do we have any Vintage Seattle readers who attended the science exhibit? Tell us in the comments. Lastly, just for fun, we’ve got 2 packets of official Expo ‘62 sugar. Think it’s still good? If only I had a
Fun Dip/Lick-A-Maid stick handy…

You can never go wrong with a Fun-Dip. If the fair, as they say, touted America’s Space-Age, I would have called the sugar in the packets “Sweet Moon Dust” instead. That’s just me, thinking outside the box. Oh, if they had only hired me as their marketing guy!

You’re absolutely fab, Shipley. Now give me some space needle sugar, please.
