Opening Day: Predictions

Towards the end of part II, last minute preparations were being made to the fair to organize it in time for opening day. According to a reporter, the night before opening day, the fairgrounds looked like a mess, and there was no way it could all be cleaned up and look presentable by the next day's ceremonies. Since national pride is a big theme throughout the novel, will the fair look decent enough to gain global status, or will it look like a huge mess of construction? Will this opening ceremony hurt Chicago's image, and, furthermore, America's image? Or will the grandeur of the World's Fair overshadow the flaws and exemplify Chicago's name?
