  • Inside This Issue Take Me 'Back' to the Fair
    1303_057_State_Bartletter_Feb2013.qxd 4/1/13 1:13 PM Page 1 APRIL/MAY 2013 progress with pride Take Me ‘Back’ to the Fair Come take a look into Bartlett’s past and learn about two world expositions that were revolutionary. “Bartlett Visits the Fairs” is a new exhibit displaying the history of the 1893 and the 1933 Chicago World’s Fairs and the Bartlett residents that attended them. The two-part exhibit will start at the Bartlett Public Library and then move to the Bartlett History Museum. From April 5 to 26, you can see souvenirs from both fairs at the Bartlett Public Library, 800 South Bartlett Road. The full exhib- it, consisting of souvenirs, stories and images, will be on display during “Meet Me at the Fair” the Bartlett Public Library District Foundation’s fundraiser on Friday, April 19. Souvenirs include an 1893 advertisement paperweight, a 1933 Western Union telegram and two charming 1933 parasols that were donated to the Bartlett History Museum by former Bartlett resident Violet Haase. Haase was just a young girl during the time of the 1933 Century of Progress fair. She and her family did not attend due to the hard economic times of the Great Depression. She obtained the parasols from her late husband Eugene Haase, who also resided in Bartlett and attended the fair with his family. Haase kept the parasols for all these years, until she was contacted by the Bartlett History Museum, which was looking for items and personal reminiscences from both Chicago fairs. She donated them to the museum with much enthusiasm.
