JOHN F. KENNEDY JFK Vintage 1961 Inaugural Ball Committee Museum Framed Display
THE JFK 1961 INAUGURAL BALL COMMITTEE museum displayTHE INAUGURAL BALL THAT ALMOST DIDN'T HAPPEN...Washington DC, January 19, 1961. It was a very cold winter's night in Washington DC and as the nation’s capital filled with dignitaries and honored guests, Frank Sinatra was rehearsing at the Washington National Armory. However, as the slate of inaugural events began, a fierce winter storm descended on Washington, paralyzing much of the city. Many of the scheduled performers who had returned to their hotel to change for the gala found themselves stranded in snowed-in cars, while others, like Ethel Merman, were forced performed in their street clothes they’d rehearsed in. The January 19, 1961, gala eventually played to a smaller than expected crowd, with JFK, his wife and various Kennedy family members in attendance. Joseph Kennedy, JFK's father, had planned for the ball to be filmed for broadcast on television but poor audio quality played havoc with his plans. The JFK inauguration was never shown, and was largely forgotten until it was edited and on public television stations 56 years later. President John F. Kennedy's entire presidential term, beginning on inauguration day, can only be described as ominously tumultuous at best. Here is your opportunity to own an extremely rare piece of the United States of America political history. Your invitation to a ball. A very historic ball being held on a very dark, cold, and stormy night in Washington D.C. to welcome our 35th President, the youngest person ever elected to the Office of the President of the United States, to day number one of the last 1,036 days of his life...
