The Florida Citrus Water Ski Show appeared in 1965. In 1964, the Amphitheatre housed "Wonder World."

FLORIDA CITRUS
WATER SKI SHOW

Experts put on an exciting display of aquatic skills.

In a show sponsored by the Florida Citrus Commission, teams of performers water ski behind fast boats, doing intricate acrobatics, formations and jumps, four times every day between noon and 6 p.m. A highlight of the Seattle Century 21 Exposition, the show is staged on a specially constructed, doughnut-shaped pool in the Amphitheater first used at the 1939/1940 Fair.

¶ Admission: free.

**A PLACE IN THE SUN**

FLORIDA, the Sunshine State, always its own best booster, has expanded its activities at the Fair this year. This has not only promoted the state's own virtues, but has also helped perk up the whole Lake Amusement Area. Sparking the upswing is the new free Florida Citrus Water Ski Show. Also on the house are the porpoise show (especially great for kids), "Pieces of Eight" (treasure ship booty); Everglades exhibit (with alligators and flamingos), art show and information from cities and counties for vacationers and prospective residents. In line with this there's a model retirement house. And, of course, you can buy lots of orange juice!

[Above] **New, exciting and free,** the state's water ski show in the Amphitheatre is a prime attraction. This pyramid, or Roman stand, is one of 21 acts by professional skiers and boatmen. Starting at 1 P.M., there are six performances daily, including two at night.
