Birthdays And Anniversaries For August 10th + S’mores Day

If you have a birthday today, congratulations! Country music birthdays include: Jimmy Dean, born in Olton, Texas, in 1928. A network TV host and sausage-company owner, he sells a million copies of the 1961 single "Big Bad John." He joins the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2010. Gene Johnson, born in Jamestown, New York, in 1949. He plays mandolin for Diamond Rio, a harmony-based sextet that wins multiple awards from the Country Music Association and Academy of Country Music in the 1990s. Happy 66th, Gene. 

This Is National S'mores Day! 

Sticky and gooey, and loaded with sugar and carbs, S'mores are nothing short of delicious!

S'mores date back to the 1920's. It's believed the recipe was created by the Campfire Girls. Girl Scouts soon discovered it, and found it to be chocolatey delicious.  Before long, S'mores became a campfire staple for everyone. S'more folklore suggests that S'mores got its name right by the campfire. After eating one, young kids chanted "gimme some more!"

Who was the first person to create S'mores? We don't know. But, we're all sure glad they did!

Now Let's P-A-R-T-Y!

No Concho Valley birthdays today.
