9 Fun Facts About The 4th of July

The 4th of July is coming next week. Many of you are probably getting the celebration started early over the weekend. The best thing that you can do for all of those holiday gatherings is to serve your guests the best BBQ in the Des Moines area. Another thing they may appreciate is learning about the 4th of July fun facts Wobbly Boots Roadhouse rounded up for you below.

1. The 4th of July is the most popular holiday for enjoying good ol' mouthwatering BBQ! It beats out both Memorial Day and Labor Day.
2. The most popular foods to serve on this patriotic holiday include burgers, chicken wings, chicken breasts, and hot dogs. (We serve all of those right here at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse, except for the hot dogs. Our sweet smoked Italian sausage is a much better substitute!)
3. Iowa is home to nearly 1/3 of the United States' hogs and pigs. That means there is a very good chance that any hot dogs or pork sausages eaten on the 4th of July came from our incredible state!
4. Independence Day is the celebration of the 13 American colonies legally separating from Great Britain. In reality, this officially happened on July 2, 1776. July 4 is the day that the document, the Declaration of Independence, was approved.
5. The Declaration was signed by 56 men from 13 colonies.
6. They didn't all actually sign it on the 4th of July. There has been debate about when the actual date was, or if all of the signatures happened on the same day.
7. Two U.S presidents signed the Declaration of Independence: John Adams and Thomas Jefferson.
8. Strangely, those same two U.S. presidents both died on the 4th of July, 1826, which was also the 50th anniversary of the Declaration.
9. Did you know... you can skip the tedious grilling this year and order some of our amazing, hickory-smoked BBQ to go for your family picnics and holiday gatherings this 4th of July!
