Celebrate July 4th with unique items from Bahoukas

Jun 20, 2017 | Blog, Collectibles, Events/News/Fun, Independence Day

In two weeks, our nation will celebrate our Independence!

 

It came with great effort from the vision of our forefathers and the lives lost in battle. Let us remember to take a moment to honor and truly appreciate the unique legacy they left for us.

Let us respect one another, practice civility, honor diversity, and be active citizens in our communities.

We wanted to share this unique collection of 7-UP cans. Can you make out what they show:

 

7-up can collection makes a picture of Uncle Sam - 50 cans - one representing each state in the U.S.

There are 50 cans, one for each state, and they make an image of Uncle Sam. Can you see it? The 3rd row down, if you can see the ‘eye’, then draw back a little, you’ll see Uncle Sam. They’re not aligned perfectly, but you’ll see it. Below are two examples of the information for each state.

Of course, here in Havre de Grace, our big celebration will take place on Sunday, July 2nd.
