How does a relatively small and unassuming city facing economic hardships, defy expectations and host a World’s Fair? Episode 2 chronicles the remarkable journey of King Cole and the small group of locals who persisted against all odds to make it happen.
“At the time that was seen as crazy. Spokane was a very small city. It would've been the smallest city at the time to ever host a World's Fair. And for many it was seen as not doable, not feasible.”
