Only world's fair to die before it's run was finished. No doubt many politicians made their bones with this scam.

WRONG.

Where did you get that idea? Fair was scheduled to run from May 12 to November 11 (as per the ads and artwork in the OP) and it DID run that entire length of time. I know; I worked there from opening day to closing night.

And it was like a previous poster said, a fun last day for us. We were working in a official gift/souvenir store right across from the space shuttle. We all brought booze in that day (mostly wine) and drank all day while ringing up marked down souvenirs.
