July 2016

What happens in July? Well, of course, the 4th of July is a huge party attraction. Hmm… Other than the Fourth, nothing much happens in July. But you can change that!

There’s nothing like a clown to lighten the mood at a family reunion. And 

truly, does anything say “Summer BBQ” like a face painter? Pool parties become cool parties with a caricature artist. And to finish off the month, show your employees some appreciation with a company picnic and a magician or another one of our many amazing entertainers.

We all know that July 4th was the day our Continental Congress officially adopted the Declaration of Independence, but do you know these other facts?

1. John Adams and Thomas Jefferson both died on July 4, 1826, on the 50th anniversary of signing the Declaration of Independence. Adams’ last words were “Thomas Jefferson still survives.” In fact, Jefferson had died five hours earlier, after asking, “Is it the Fourth of July?”
2. According to legend, on July 4, 1916, four immigrants had a hot dog eating contest to decide who was the most patriotic. Nothing says America like eating an excessive number of hot dogs.
3. Americans eat more than 155 million hot dogs on Independence Day alone. 
4. Since the signing of the Declaration, American population has gotten over 150 million times larger (possibly due to all the hot dogs).
