Did you know that our Independence Day was first celebrated in Philadelphia on July 8, 1776? And according to Wikipedia, “In a remarkable coincidence, both John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, the only signers of the Declaration of Independence later to serve as Presidents of the United States, died on the same day: July 4, 1826, which was the 50th anniversary of the Declaration.”

However you celebrate this year – a picnic, fireworks, a parade, barbecue, or baseball game - have a safe and happy 4th of July from your friends at Boyd Bros.
