| Description | "Hens play bridge at Florida state exhibit, while phonograph record relates their 'conversation'"--photo verso. "A Florida 'hen' party" is the description of this state of Florida exhibit at the Seventh World's Poultry Congress held in Cleveland, Ohio. Opening on July 28, 1939 and continuing for eleven days, the total attendance for the event was 382,000. It was an international event for the city at that time: A virtual 'Who's Who' in international poultry were in attendance; 47 countries were represented and the town rolled out the red carpet. On July 30, a crowd of 35,000 gathered at Rockefeller Park to observe the mass dedication of the 35-acre Cleveland Cultural Gardens. Soil from 25 of these countries was put into a vault in the American Colonial Garden. And a tree was planted for each country, in a mix of Cleveland soil and native soil from each country. |
