A lot of people likely couldn't find it. The overall layout wasn't that good because of limited land aviability. The rides were down past the China exibit away from all other exhibits along the river on UT property. I don't know who decided to put the fair in that location but right through the middle of it was a railroad track. Every morning before opening time a train went through and back again at night. The location was actually largely built on the old Knoxville L&N Rail Road Depot land.
Where they put it was the equivalent of our rapidly changing railroad gulch here in Nashville. I mean, where else could they have put it ? The only alternative was out in the sticks.
