🎆 SEAFAIR OPENING WEEKEND 🎆

IT IS SEAFAIR OPENING
and FLEET WEEK

Seafair has hosted Seattle's Fleet Week since 1950.
This year the Seattle Navy League, Boeing, 
and the Port of Seattle also welcome the vessels 
and personnel. Seafair offers free admission to
 military vessels and personnel to the 
Seafair Weekend Hydroplane Race and the Air Show.

Some reports say Seattle's Fleet Week was an outgrowth of the Golden Potlach celebration in 1911. This event was suspended during WWI but was revived in 1934 with "Seattle Potlach and Fleet Week."

The sailors on the lower card were 
singing and dancing but they 
forgot to come to Seattle.
