Description

Two scarce 'Texas Welcome' items: an original one-page broadside program for the 'Texas Welcome Dinner' which was to be held at the Municipal Auditorium in Austin, Texas, on November 22, 1963, 8.5 x 14, listing the speakers for the event and featuring images and facsimile signatures of honored guests John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, and John B. Connally; and a souvenir program booklet for the 'Texas Welcome' dinner to be held at the Municipal Auditorium in Austin, Texas, on November 22, 1963, 8.5 x 11, 16 pages, containing brief biographies of the guests plus local advertisements. 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.
