Scarce original gold-colored ticket, number D15478, 4 x 2.5, to the 'Texas Welcome Dinner' presented in honor of President John F. Kennedy and Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson, to be held at the Municipal Auditorium in Austin at 7:30 on November 22, 1963. In very good to fine condition, with light surface scuffing and adhesive remnants to reverse. Organized by the State Democratic Executive Committee, more than 5,000 Austinites planned to attend this fundraising dinner on the final stop of the president's tour of Texas. Scheduled to occur on the night of Kennedy's assassination, the dinner would never take place.
