HAWAII

Drum, guitar and ukulele music sets hula skirts swishing in the "Spirit of Aloha" exhibit. The Aumakua Tower, 80 feet high, with a ring of flaming torches at the 55-foot level, forms the gateway to a complex of structures: the Aloha Theme Pavilion, a Tourism and Industrial Exhibits building, the Five Volcanos Restaurant, an arcade of shops, an ancient village and the enclosed Aloha Theater. The area is landscaped with coconut and hala trees, orchids and other tropical plants.

The nation's newest state showcased dances and plants not generally seen on the mainland. One can only wonder what they did with the palm trees between seasons of the Fair. (CD23 Set 125  #11)  


 

Guests entering the Fair at the River Gate were treated to a view of the thatched roof buildings of the Hawaii pavilion. (CD15 Set 75 #8)
