Bill had it so right, the greatest thing about Expo 86 was all the street entertainment. Waiting time passed quickly for the pavilions because there was always something to entertain you. I wish more of the current Expos would concentrate on this more.
ReplyDeleteOne of my vivid memories was also the Rainbow Wars film...very well done.
