Fourth Of July Fun Facts
Independence Day is the celebration of adoption of the Declaration of Independence. It was written by Thomas Jefferson and signed by the Second Continental Congress - July 4, 1776. This statement gave the colonies freedom from Great Britain.
Independence Day commemorates the formal adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. However, it was not declared a legal holiday until 1941.
- Uncle Sam was first popularized during the War of 1812, when the term appeared on supply containers. Believe it or not, the U. S. Congress didn't adopt him as a national symbol until 1961.
- The American national anthem, the "Star-Spangled Banner," is set to the tune of an English drinking song ("To Anacreon in Heaven").
- The first two versions of the Liberty Bell were defective and had to be melted down and recast. The third version rang every Fourth of July from 1778 to 1835, when, according to tradition, it cracked as it was being tolled for the death of Chief Justice John Marshall.
- Not all members of the Continental Congress supported a formal Declaration of Independence, but those who did were passionate about it. One representative rode 80 miles by horseback to reach Philadelphia and break a tie in support of independence.
- Fireworks were made in China as early as the 11th century. The Chinese used their pyrotechnic mixtures for war rockets and explosives.
- There are many precise rules for taking care of the American flag. And speaking of flag traditions, we're sorry to report that contrary to legend, historical research has failed to confirm that Betsy Ross sewed the first flag.

We
want to keep the legitimacy, integrity and fun of Jane's List intact so
we'll never make a dime off your meal at a restaurant nor a penny from
the sale of the latest toy we told you about. And we ask the same in
return: all submissions about a product or business to Jane's List

business).You can submit your requests to us at kristy@parkcityjane.com ATTN: Jane's List Item. Please make sure that you give us plenty of advance notice (we require a week in advance to guarantee posting your information).
Advertising: Would
you like to help support Park City Jane's List and advertise your
business at the same time? Then imagine your business ad right here,
seen by 500 moms in Park City (and growing daily). We only run one
sponsorship a day at the
top of each daily newsletter. Due to the current economic conditions
we have new advertising rates: $50 for 1 daily sponsorship ($45/day if
you buy 3 or more). If you are a Park City Moms Group Member, (must be
current with your membership), we have a discounted rate available:
$40 for 1 daily sponsorship ($35/day if you buy 3 or more). For more
information, please email leslie@parkcityjane.com.July Special: Just For Camps: We
have received dozens upon dozens of emails from camps who have spots
open. Obviously, sponsoring a daily newsletter is your best bet since
you are the first thing everyone sees each day when they read their
list. Also, there is no limit on characters, you can add logos/photos,
etc. However, we realize that money is tight all around right now so
during the week of July 13, we will run camp information all week long
in our daily lists for just $25 (breaks down to $5/day). This means
that we will run your camp information every day for 5 days in the main
list. There are some limitations regarding character maximum. If you
want to receive double bang for your buck, you can sponsor a newsletter
AND take advantage of this special. If you are interested in
participating, please send an email to leslie@parkcityjane.com. We need all information by July 10 in order to participate.
And no, we would never sell or subscriber list: that would be lame
