The 1904 World’s Fair Society has monthly membership meetings with programs on various topics relating to the Fair.
It has always been a tradition of the organization to have a meeting near the end of April to celebrate “opening day”, (the day the fair opened, April 30th,1904), and to have a “closing day” banquet in December (the day the fair closed, December 1st, 1904) .
Most meetings have a drawing for an attendance prize for members attending the meeting. You may register every time you attend a meeting at the reception table near the door. Attending more meetings will give you more opportunities to win. Attendance prizes will vary. Often they will match the subject of the meeting. You must be present to win.
The meetings are always well attended with people very knowledgeable about the fair. Please feel free to attend and ask questions. Visitors are always welcome.

- His performance on the keyboard at the Society’s Closing Day Observance banquet in December 2024 was exceptional!
- His piano performances go back to his early shows on excursion boats on the St. Louis riverfront in. His skills have been displayed at the VP Fair and at major ragtime events such as the annual Scott Joplin International Ragtime Festival in Sedalia, MO. He has produced several disks of his performances, some of which can be watched on YouTube.
