Three official printed invitations relating to President Kennedy’s fateful trip to Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1963, including: two unissued invitations to the Dallas Trade Mart luncheon held in honor of “The President and Mrs. Kennedy, The Vice-President and Mrs. Johnson, The Governor and Mrs. Connolly,” both stamped on the reverse with the numbers "1376” and “2716,” with the latter bearing a “First Day of Issue” stamp postmarked May 29, 1967, and two 13-cent JFK stamps; and an original 7 x 9.75 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. In overall fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope for the Texas Welcome Dinner invitation, postmarked November 6, 1963. 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. The Trade Mart was the destination of President Kennedy's motorcade when he was assassinated in Dealey Plaza.
