Préface de Ronald Reagan, Président des Etats-Unis :

On behalf of the people of the united states, l wish to extend a warm welcome to all visitors to the 1982 World's Fair.

World's fairs provide an exciting vision of the future. They give hope and inspiration to the world community and help establish goals for human achievement.

Because energy is a major concern to all nations, the theme of The 1982 world's Fair, "Energy Turns the World," is not only appropriate, but will prove to be of great interest to all those attending this event. By emphasizing the exciting energy sources of the future, this Fair will help to bridge that gap between our energy needs and the resourcefulness of human creativity.

Again, let me extend a warm welcome to all those attending this festive event. May the many attractions of this Fair provide a wonderful and exciting experience for each of you.

Description:

From May 1 through October 31, 1982, Knoxville hosted the world’s fair based on the theme “Energy Turns the World.”

Expo ’82 was the first world’s fair to be held in the southeastern United States in 97 years, hosting 22 countries and more than 11 million people.

Once referred to as the “scruffy little city by the Tennessee River,” Knoxville provided one big party for people to visit from all over to witness the live entertainment, parades, displays, exhibits, musical and sporting events, food, costumes, rides, games, and arcades.

The news reports of the day declared the “World Came to Knoxville” as it hosted the official international exposition, fully licensed and sanctioned by the Bureau des Expositions Internationales in Paris, France.
