An estimated 25,000 people attended this Sunday afternoon event in Salisbury in the winter of 1959. It wasn't an entertainment or sporting event, nor a religious, or political event. There was nothing for sale nor items brought in for exhibit purposes. What was the attraction?
Any guesses?

Dedication of the Civic Center?

Thanks for the good guess, Slim, but that's not it although the Civic Center was dedicated in the same year..1959.
Here's another clue. I'm mentioning the event in question because of something happening very soon in Salisbury that's been in the news recently.

Jolly Jack in the Christmas parade?

The circus came to town?
Sorry, no correct answers yet.
By the way.. this was a one-time only event. What made it particularly newsworthy was the number of people in attendance.
