It happened This week!

● Niagara Falls State Park was established in 1885 on the border between Canada and New York. The park, which attracts a whopping eight million tourists annually, comprises three massive waterfalls—american Falls, Bridal Veil Falls and Horseshoe Falls— each of which is about 12,000 years old!

● Dubbed “the happiest place on Earth,”

Disneyland opened its doors to the public in

1955 with 18 attractions, 14 of which are still in operation today, including Alice’s Mad Tea Party, the Disneyland Railroad and King Arthur’s Carousel!

● Krispy Kreme Doughnuts opened in Winston-salem, North Carolina, in 1937. Just what makes those glazed doughnuts so delicious is a secret—founder Vernon Rudolph’s recipe is locked away in the company vault— but culinary historians have long speculated it has something to do with fluffed egg whites and even mashed potatoes!

● The Etch A Sketch drawing toy arrived in stores in 1960. While most of us struggle to make basic pictures, artist George Vlosich III has perfected it: Some of his elaborate portraits, which can take up to 80 hours to complete, have sold for more than $10,000 each! ● Country crooner

Luke Bryan was born in Leesburg, Georgia, in 1976. His mother takes at least some credit for his success: Since Luke was a sickly baby, she would often hum “Rock of Ages” to him to calm him down— so often that he could hum the song himself before he could talk!
