Description

"Breakfast with President and Mrs. John F. Kennedy"

Original ticket for a "Breakfast with President and Mrs. John F. Kennedy," 3.75 x 2.25, held on November 22, 1963, in the Grand Ballroom of Fort Worth's Hotel Texas, sponsored by the Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce, and issued as No. 485. Attractively mounted, matted, and framed with an unpublished pearl-finish 11.75 x 8.25 photo by Gene Gordon, depicting the president and the first lady upon their arrival of the event, to an overall size of 18.25 x 18.25. In fine condition, with a few mild marks to ticket. After a day of traveling the Kennedys stayed overnight at the Hotel Texas on November 21, 1963, awaking early the next morning to deliver an 8:00 am breakfast speech to the Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce. Only hours later, the president and first lady landed at Love Field in Dallas, Texas, leaving the airport in the presidential motorcade en route to downtown Dallas and crowds of nearly 200,000 spectators. Unlike the more commonly seen 'Welcome Dinner' ticket, the Hotel Texas breakfast ticket remains exceedingly rare.
