Independence Day Research Contest + Party

Hi friends!

Around this time of the year, many of us celebrate one or both of two special holidays, but do you know which ones? You've never heard of Independence Day in the United States or Canada? Well, you're just in luck then! Starting today, we will be hosting an Independence Day Research Contest!

Here are the rules and guidelines that you will need to know for this contest:

•      Research and tell us a brief summary about Independence Day (you can either write about it celebrated in America and/or Canada).
•      Some things we would like to learn from you (but not necessarily) are how it came to be, when did it start, who are some important people, where did this holiday first take place, how did it change, why/how it is celebrated today, etc..
•      Some extra add-ins such as fun facts, eye-catching pictures, detailed notes, and over exceeding creativity/neatness will help boost your chance in being selected as a winner.
•      You may only submit up to two entries (make sure to include your name!)
•      You must use this template — any entry not using this format will not be judged.
•      You must enter your submission in the comment section of this post, not elsewhere. Please only provide an imgur link!
•      Please make sure you include factual content from liable websites (this is an informative contest!)

The Independence Day Research Contest ends on July 7th, when we will begin to review all entries and pick our top three winners!

Best of lu— wait! I almost forgot to give you an invitation to the Independence Day Party! Please join us for a celebration of America's and Canada's mark of independence!

5 PM EST, 2 PM PST

The park will be specifically decorated for this event, and there will be lots of magic, rain, and music! There will also be a fashion contest between who wore the most patriotic colors for either America or Canada, so we highly suggest you dress in red and white (and blue, for America). The winners to the fashion contest will be rewarded and will also be featured on the main blog in the party recap post!

Hope to see you at the party!
