October 24, 1959, Appleton Post-Crescent

It was the Space Age, the era of Sputnik and a race to the Moon was just a few years away from beginning. Big dreams for atomic power in the Eisenhower era of plenty, and those visitors to Valley Fair were lucky enough to experience it first hand. Plus, free Coke and those nine cent "hots" had to be a draw, as well.
