Along with the parades, barbeques, and live music, there are usually a variety of other events for people to participate in. Here, we see three boys partaking in a pie eating contest in Central City’s Fourth of July Celebrations in 1947. They also had a three-legged race, greased up cow, and other traditional games.
Fourth of July Fact: Americans consume around 155 million hot dogs on the Fourth of July each year. They also spend $92 million on chips, $167.5 million on watermelon, and $341.4 million on beer.
