I am a litle behind in my newspaper reading but some interesting facts regarding the 4th:
2.5 million people lived in America in 1776 and today we have 311.7 million.
$190.7 million is the value of fireworks imported from China last year while we spent $197.3 on fireworks.
31 places have Liberty in their name, 35 have Eagle in their name, 11 have Independence, 9 have Freedom in their name, one place has Patriot, and 5 have America in their name.
More than 1 in 4 cookouts will have hot dogs or pork sausages. Most probably come from Iowa which has 19 million hogs and pigs. Half of the country's spuds come from Idaho for that tater salad and Florida leads the country in watermelon production (nearly 750 million pounds).
