Join us on Facebook Live as Mike Truax, the current president of the 1904 World’s Fair Society, presents images and facts about both the 1893 Chicago and 1904 St. Louis World’s Fairs. This presentation accompanies the exhibit Fantastic Fairs: The Fields at the World’s Fairs.
About the Speaker:
Mike is the current President of the 1904 World’s Fair Society. His interest in the World’s Fair began soon after he moved to the St. Louis area in 1989. He was given a small souvenir ruby flash toothpick holder that was passed down from his great-great-aunt who attended the fair. After finding and joining the Society in 1996, Mike became a collector of World’s Fair memorabilia and an avid enthusiast.
