A Jetsons-Themed Birthday Party

1987 was a big year for The Jetsons, and for a number of reasons. The series' third season aired, The Jetsons Meet The Flintstones crossover premiered, and the show had its 25th anniversary that fall. How was such an occasion celebrated you may ask? With a birthday party, full of voice actors and costumed characters, of course! Check out this excerpt from The Cincinnati Enquirer dated November  17th, 1987, discussing the event.


Unfortunately, I couldn't find any pictures of the event anywhere online, which is a real shame. I for one would love to see what this cake actually looked like! However, I found this archived article from the Los Angeles Times about the party. It's locked behind a paywall, but there are some interesting tidbits in it not found in the excerpt above. Namely, this one mentions that Penny Singleton (Jane Jetson) and Bill Hanna were in attendance. I wonder if there were any other HB personalities that attended this party that aren't mentioned in either piece.
