Fourth Of July Fun Facts.

I was talking to younger niece the other day and I asked her what she is doing for the 4th of July. She told me she is going to a party and then going to watch fireworks. Then I decided to dig a little more and I asked her if she knew why the 4th of July was so important. She got quiet and then said “it’s Independence Day.” But then went on to explain which was pretty impressive. This gave me a fun party decorating idea. I looked up fun 4th of July facts (listed below); I will print them out and then paste them onto stars and flags. And then put the quotes around the party area for everyone to read.
- 309.6 million is estimated population for this 4th of July
- The value of fireworks imported from China in 2009, representing the bulk of all U.S. fireworks imported ($217 million)
- 31 places nationwide with “liberty” in their name
- Thirty places have “eagle” in their name
- Eleven places have “independence” in their name.
- There is one place named “patriot”
What other creative party decorating ideas do you have?
