1960’s
From 1960 to 1968, the Fair had a Hawaiian theme. The Fair queens became Aloha Queens, and Hilo Hattie was at the Fair in her Hawaiian review. Agricultural exhibits became a major thrust of the fair. A championship rodeo became a part of the Fair in 1962 and in 1966 a new arena with a covered grandstand was completed. Entertainment in the 1960s included the Lennon Sisters, Glen Campbell, Monty Montana, Lou Rawls and the Authentic Ballet Folklorico. A push button phone was presented by Pac Bell in 1963, and in 1968, when the Fair theme changed to Yesterday Meets Tomorrow, boats and recreational vehicles were new features. A scale model of Apollo 11 was featured in 1969 as the era ended.
