5 Fun Facts about the Fourth of July

The Lake of the Ozarks is the best place to be during Fourth of July! We have fun activities, a great location, and of course the best bar at the Lake of the Ozarks! As a way to celebrate this momentous holiday, here are five fun facts that you may not have known about the Fourth of July!


1. Birth & Death

Ironically, while July 4th 1776 was the birth of the independence for the United States, on the
sameday fifty years later John Adams and Thomas Jefferson both died.


2. Filipino and Rwandan Independence Day

July 4th also marks the day that both the Philippines and Rwanda were liberated.  In the Philippines they have celebrated their Independence Day on June 12th since 1962. The Rwandans on the other hand do celebrate liberation day on July 4th.

3. Hot Dogs For All

July Fourth is the largest hot dog holiday of the year according to TIME magazine. Reportedly, Americans consume about 155 million of them on Independence Day alone.

4. American Bald...Turkey?

Benjamin Franklin was apparently displeased that the bald eagle was chosen as the symbol of the nation. Due to their "bad moral character", and not "getting his living honestly". He claimed that the bald eagle could often be seen in a dead tree watching the fishing hawk labor for their catch only to steal it away. Whereas the turkey, though vain and silly, was courageous, not hesitating to attack the British Guards should they enter his farm yard.

5. Tap the Bell

Due to the cracking of the iconic Liberty Bell, it has not been rung since 1846. Instead, every year for Fourth of July they tap the 2,000-pound bell 13 times to signal for bells across the country to start ringing.
