NotesThe Century 21 Exposition took place between April 21 and October 21, 1962 and is also known as the Seattle World's Fair.

"The Christian Witness Pavilion on Friendship Mall serves the dual role of presenting a message of hope for the future and housing the fair's Children's Center... Visitors walk into a large auditorium where a seven-minute presentation, aided by lighting and sound effects, sets the stage for the Christian message that the only optimism for a world living with a cobalt bomb is in God."
