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 fifth 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....

Root beer, the original American soft drink, is only 100 years younger than the nation itself. Root beer has a long and eventful history that coincides with the development of American popular culture.
Root beer was first manufactured in Philadelphia in 1866. Prior to this, farm people of the 18th and 19th centuries had been making some sort of elementary root beer.
In 1876, root beer made its debut at the U.S. Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia along with Alexander Graham Bell's telephone, the Remington typewriter and Heinz Ketchup.
There is only one original Route 66 "Route" Beer bottled in the USA under the authority of Route 66 Sodas, LLC.
Ask your favorite retailer for this product. The root beer's award winning taste and the souvenir bottle with a twist-
Travelers visit Seligman for many reasons. Some are on their way east to the Grand Canyon, others are heading westward to Las Vegas, but everyone considers Seligman a nostalgic stop on Route 66.
Seligman is also a special destination for some people. Just ask Bob and Beverly Seligman from Cheyenne, Wyoming. For several months, Bob finalized plans to marry Beverly in Seligman, the unique town that bears the same name as his family. On May 15, 2009, Bob and Beverly were married at the Seligman Justice Court. They extended their stay in Seligman from 2 to 4 days to fully experience our town. They told us that their stay at The Canyon Lodge www.route66canyonlodge.com was memorable.
Best Wishes to the Seligmans!!

It is estimated that coffee originated in an Ethiopian province called Kaffa. But, there is controversy about where it originated. Coffee first became trendy in Arabia during the 13th century. Coffee trees were grown in India sometime after 1600, and some around 1650 coffee was imported in to England and coffee houses opened in London and Oxford.
Coffee was popular by the 18th century in Europe and European colonists introduced the crop to other tropical countries to help them supply a healthy domestic demand. The demand for coffee was so strong in the 19th century that when authentic coffee beans were limited, people developed substitutes from vegetables like, chicory root, acorns and figs. |
