Item Description

1974 US Poster Stamp Expo '74 World's Fair Spokane May-October 1974 Unused Paper Adhesion. Expo '74, officially known as the International Exposition on the Environment, was held in Spokane, Washington from May 4 to November 3, 1974. The event was the first world's fair to focus on the environment. The fair attracted almost 5.2 million visitors, making Spokane the smallest city to ever host a world's fair. The event took place at what is now Riverfront Park. The event featured:
Totem poles as a symbol of the continent's past
Displays about environmental concerns of the day
The world's first IMAX movie, “Man belongs to the Earth”
10 international participants
The event's approach to environmental issues sparked controversy. Local environmental groups questioned the idea of a world's fair, worrying about its impact on the local environment. The total cost of Expo '74 was $24,659,959 through October 1974. Some sources list the final post fair number as $29.6 million. Wikipedia
