Welcome to the great Pan-Kinetic Exposition!

The Great Pan-Kinetic Exposition is a “total immersion” event where costumed personalities of the past mingle with and greet guests throughout. Where else would you be able to meet the President of the United States of America as he is sitting down to see new feats of illusion done by the great Harry Houdini?

Come early to see Theodore Roosevelt, take the bandstand and welcome the crowd. He has made a special trip just to meet the fantastic people who have gathered and to see the incredible inventions and displays at the Great Pan-Kinetic Exposition.

Audience members are encouraged to dress in the time period of the event, encouraging conversations with the personalities that they might meet. Sarah Bernhardt and Annie Oakley, two of the era’s greatest female entertainers will stand beside Susan B Anthony and Mme. Marie Curie, two of the era’s most influential women. Two literary greats, H.G. Wells and Arthur Conan Doyle, might be found in conversation with the Wright Brothers while Albert Einstein tips his hat to them in passing. The possibilities are endless at this event, before the customer even gets to the stage!

Upon entering, explore the Avenues of the Exposition.
All of the mighty continents of the world are joined by the fabled "Seven Seas", so it is only fitting that the "Avenue of The Oceans" be dedicated to not only all things nautical, but also all things cultural. Representatives from around the world will be given the chance to enlighten guests on their cultures and forms of artistic expression.

Official Decree Pistons will pump, wheels will turn, and gigantic engines will thunder away in the "Avenue of Steam". Makers of mighty boilers and fabulous engines will display their creations to a public eager to learn about the marvels of industry! This is also where railroad enthusiasts may "recruit" new engineers into the wonders of the American rail network.

The "Avenue of Electricity" is the proverbial "heart" of the Great Pan-Kinetic Exposition. The two "titans" of electric invention, Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison, will both guide patrons along mighty displays of violet flame, and tungsten powered illumination. This is also where patrons might learn of the wonders, and the dangers, of the world's future use of electrical marvels!

The "Avenue of Winds" is where all brave explorers of the heavens may gather. Whether they arrive via hot air balloon, or engine powered gliders, aeronauts of every description will gather to compare their ventures into this brave new frontier...and beyond!

The Great Pan-Kinetic Exposition's greatest achievement is bringing great thinkers and inventors together. The "Avenue of Innovation" is meant as an exposition hall for amateur inventors to display their latest creations. Competitions may even ensue between these eccentric tinkerers.

The power of the mind is an extraordinary thing, especially when one's imagination is allowed to run free. The "Avenue of Dreams" is dedicated to the artistic wizards of our time, and their influential works. Guests will be "transported" to magical lands through theatrical and artistic exploration in ways that will delight children of all ages.

On the Main Stage under the big top, vaudeville acts and master illusionists will amuse and amaze, while great western performers thrill with their feats of daring-do. Twirl your moustache or show off your chapeau or even learn the secrets to the wright brothers newest modern marvel -the aeroplane!
