Hotelmen and Supervisors Unite for Sullivan World’s Fair Plan
In Sullivan County a coop between the Board of Supervisors and the Hotel Association forms the World’s Fairest Vacation land, Inc. to pre-sell the area to visitors for the 1964 65 World’s Fair. The venture aims to promote Monticello Liberty and nearby towns as a vacation stopover, amid years of anti resort sentiment and economic shifts. The effort seeks to boost year round employment, attract industry with tax incentives, and bolster tax revenue to fund schools, while noting unresolved local opposition and limited county action. A separate note reports James Henry Christmas Jr born at Mound Park Hospital in St Peters burg weighing six pounds five and a half ounces.
