On a rainy and cold Saturday in April we were visited by the lively group of Germans led by Hans and Angie Mantler. We enjoyed their company and enthusiasm despite adverse weather conditions. They started out from Bike Week in Orlando, Florida and were heading to the west coast by way of Las Vegas.

U.S.A. Flag History and Facts
In the next few issues, we will continue to present some interesting history and facts about our Unites States of America flag. This is the third in our series of articles:
The flag is usually displayed from sunrise to sunset in the open. It should be raised briskly and lowered ceremoniously. It is displayed daily, weather permitting, and especially on certain holidays, on or near the main administration buildings of all public institutions. It is also displayed in or near every polling place on election days and in or near every schoolhouse during school days.
To be continued in next month's newsletter....
After many of our visitors have soaked up the sights in Seligman they are ready to head to Las Vegas. At the mid point from Seligman to Las Vegas (about a three hour trip from Seligman to Las Vegas) is a quaint, quirky and cool town called Chloride. Chloride is just four miles off Highway 93 in northwest Arizona. It is the oldest continuosly inhabited mining town in the state. At one time 2,500 people and over 70 silver and lead mines once prospered. Now about 400 folks call this living ghost town home.

The Black Cat Bar is one of Northern Arizona's most storied institutions. This famous cowboy hangout, situated directly on Historic Route 66 in the middle of the town of Seligman, boasts of the 4th oldest liquor license in the state. The nostalgia of the Black Cat dates back to the heyday of the railroad and the huge surrounding cattle ranches.
On any given day you'll find tourists, local folks, and even cowboys from surrounding ranches, gathered to partake of a cold beer or favorite drink, play a friendly game of pool, or just hang out. Often you'll find a lively country band playing, with the tables pushed back so folks can enjoy dancing and just having a good time. This is also the place where the town folk get together once a month to celebrate all the birthdays and anniversaries for that month.
The Black Cat is also actively involved in many community activities, and hosts the Predator Hunt each spring and supports the Route 66 Fun Run Car Rally each May, Seligman Days, the annual Chicken Fry, and other events throughout the year. Anyone passing through the town of Seligman shouldn't miss the opportunity to stop and visit this friendly, beloved Black Cat Bar!
Be sure to stop in if you have the opportunity! The Black Cat is across the street from The Historic Seligman Sundries.
