- Wembasters note ... Many thanks to Gary Holmes who, many years ago, provided us with a number of clippings that he had saved from copies of the New York Sunday News when he was a kid, fascinated with the Fair. We recently purchased a scrapbook online that contained many additional clippings. We hope this featured presentation provides fond memories and an enjoyable look back at the Fair for you.
