  • ... that railroad tracks and trestles once covered Riverfront Park, the 100-acre (40 ha) legacy site of Expo '74 that features the largest urban waterfall in the United States? Source: "...hosted pavilions on the 100-acre site. The original impetus of the fair was to clean up and reclaim the land alongside the mighty falls of the Spokane River, which for decades had been clogged with railroad tracks, trestles, and warehouses...After the fair closed, the site was revamped to become Riverfront Park, today the city's downtown showcase and gathering spot." [1]) and "you’ll find numerous viewpoints of the Spokane Falls, the largest urban waterfall in the United States" [2]
    • ALT1:... that the 100-acre (40 ha) Riverfront Park in Spokane, Washington was once covered by railroad tracks and trestles, but was transformed to host the first environmentally-themed World's fair? Source: ..."hosted pavilions on the 100-acre site.

[3]) and "Expo ‘74, the first environmentally themed World’s Fair, opened in Spokane in May of 1974" [4]
    • ALT2:... that a garbage-eating sculpture in Riverfront Park caused an uproar from goat farmers when it was installed, concerned that it perpetuated the false stereotype that goats eat anything? Source: ..."The Dairy Goat Journal, called the vacuum system disguised as a goat a “degrading, debasing, and grossly misleading” addition to the fair. Dairy goats, another letter-writer argued, were “most fastidious in their eating habits.” Writing to The Spokane Chronicle, John R. Hollister of Deer Park said that the public needed to be educated “to the fact that a goat should be properly fed like any other creature." [5] and "the garbage goat did get Turnbull into some trouble. It was written about in a dairy goat publication many years ago, and she got some heated communications from dairy goat owners who were rather put out at the notion of a dairy goat eating garbage" [6]

Symbol redirect vote 4.svgThanks for the review Template:U. Great point on the hook format - the proposed revisions look good and I've updated the primary hook per your suggested format.
