Details:

John Connally dinner ticket issued for the “Governor John B. Connally Day Dinner,” held October 23, 1963, in Amarillo, Texas. The ticket admits one to the event at the Tri-State Fair Grounds, just thirty days before Connally—then Governor of Texas—was seriously wounded while riding in the presidential motorcade during the assassination of John F. Kennedy in Dallas on November 22, 1963. Connally was seated directly in front of Kennedy and was struck by a bullet in the attack, making him a central figure in the events of that day. Numbered and priced at $5.00, as issued.

Fine condition.

John Connally (1917–1993) served as Governor of Texas from 1963 to 1969 and later as U.S. Secretary of the Treasury. His presence in the Kennedy motorcade and survival of the shooting placed him at the center of one of the most studied moments in American history.
