National Maple Syrup Day!
It’s National Maple Syrup Day! Maple syrup is a distinctly
North American product. Canada, the largest supplier of maple syrup, produces
over 5 million gallons of it each year!
Native Americans were the first to harvest and boil the sap
of the maple tree into a thick syrup—a process that was documented and adopted
by early settlers in the 1600s.
Wright Brothers Day!
Wright Brothers Day (December 17) is a United States national
observation. It is codified in the US Code, and commemorates the first
successful flights in a heavier than air, mechanically propelled airplane, that
were made by Orville and Wilbur Wright on December 17, 1903, near Kitty Hawk,
North Carolina. On September 24, 1959 U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower
declared December 17th to be Wright Brothers Day.
