To all those people who responded, I wish to say thanks. The replies
I got ranged from:

	A Fair is held:	    Whenever somebody with enough money approaches
			    the Fair committee. Therefore, irregular intervals

	A Fair is held:	    Every 4 years with interim years having smaller
			    expositions concerning a single topic (Energy)

	A Fair is held:     Every 10 years with interim years having smaller
		            subjects.

It was also said that 2*4 + 1984 = 1992 Chicago. Therefore, New Orleans
is in the mold of every four years. From memory, I thought there was
a 1933 Worlds Fair in New York and Seattle in the 60's. I also know
that Knoxville had an exposition last year and am not sure if they
were originally opened in 1982. Oh well, looks like the Fair people
want the public to keep guessing.

Thanks again to all those who responded.
