All in a Day's Work

June 8 was a hot day, and where better to spend it than relaxing at the local watering hole? GUY's bridge inspectors had to convince these cows to leave the cool waters under this bridge in Creek County District 3 so they could complete their inspection.

While the Declaration of Independence is dated July 4, 1776, Congress voted for independence on July 2. Three presidents who signed the document died on July 4: John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and James Monroe. Calvin Coolidge is the only president born on the Fourth.

The Fourth of July became a federal holiday in 1870 and the first 4th of July fireworks show was held in 1877.
