Two items: an original invitation for the Texas Welcome Dinner to be held in honor of President John F. Kennedy and Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson at Austin's Municipal Auditorium on the evening of November 22, 1963, one page, 6.75 x 9.5; and an original gold-colored 4 x 2.5 ticket to the event, no. D3565. Nicely double-matted and framed with an image of Kennedy's motorcade to an overall size of 15.25 x 28. In overall fine condition. 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.
