Scope and content
In step for the March 19, 1968, opening day of the 21st Tacoma Home Show are promotor Pat O'Toole, Miss Home Show Barbara Slott, and developer Boyd Lundstrom. O'Toole had promised a different kind of home show in 1968 as he replaced more than half the previous exhibitors. Nothing that did not directly pertain to actually building or equipping a home would be allowed. This would be a "Red Carpet" event as for the first time, the entire floor of the University of Puget Sound Fieldhouse would be covered by thousands of yards of red carpet. Anticipation ran high for attendance in the hundreds of thousands as free tickets would be distributed by local banks and utility companies. Photograph ordered by National Home Shows.
