To celebrate Aquatennial's 75th Anniversary in 2014, Former Queen of the Lakes Pam Albinson authored the nostalgic, Seventy-five Years of the Minneapolis Aquatennial.
As the description reads on Amazon.com, the book is "...lavishly illustrated with more than 300 vintage photographs, author Pam Albinson chronicles the festival's history and describes the myriad activities associated with it, including rodeos, celebrity appearances, parades, athletic competitions, aeronautical displays, art fairs, a week-long series of swimming and diving performances called the Aqua Follies, and the ever-popular Queen of the Lakes Coronation."
Ms. Albinson served as Queen of the Lakes in 1962. Several other Aquantennial Ambassador Alumni and volunteers also contributed stories and photographs to the book. A great keepsake for Aquatennial Ambassador Alumni, volunteers and lovers of the Aquatennial alike, the book is available on Amazon.com and Barnesandnoble.com.
