Kanakuk Parties Part 1 :World Fair
Who? 13 Day Term 1, Term 3, and Term 5 25 day- Term 1, Term 2, Term 3
The worlds fair just happened the first weekend of May. Throughout history countries would get together and "show off" how they live and what they do. It would even be the place that showed the world their new inventions. Take a look at these pics. They are different world fairs and the things that were revealed.
In 1889 The World Fair was from May to October! It was held in France. The entrance to the worlds fair was the Eiffel Tower. It was finished that year and France wanted to show it off!
The first ever ferris wheel was done for the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago. An American Engineer named Ferris did this wacky design where a 250-foot wheel would carry people in boxes the size of train cars. today we get to ride Ferris wheels because of the World Fair in Chicago!
The Worlds Fair in 1962 showcased the Space Needle in Seattle!
This is the russian Pavillion for the 2010 Worlds Fair in China!
So, we are going to have a World's Fair this summer at Kanakuk Kamps Dress like anyone from around the world and be ready to experience some of all of the world's cultures!
