Gracie Hansen displays a press release at the Elks Club on March 7, 1962, for the Gracie Hansen Paradise, a Las Vegas-style show, to be featured at the Century 21 Exposition (Seattle's World Fair) in 1962. She had addressed the Tacoma Advertising Club at the Elks on "Century 21 After Dark." Behind her is a multi-sectional billboard with cut-outs of the Space Needle, a bottle of Almaden Rose champagne, and a dancing chorine holding a large apple. The concrete slab building that would house the "Night in Paradise", a 700-capacity theater/restaurant, later was given to King County and is now known as the Gracie Hansen Community Center in Ravensdale. Photograph ordered by the Tacoma Advertising Club. (Seattle P.I., April 16, 2002, TNT 3-6-62, p. 9)
