In 1955, the Queen of the Candles and her maids light sparklers before leading the coronation procession, one of the many celebrations happening on the Fourth of July. The Queen of the Candles was founded in 1940 by a group of women who cared deeply about the Lititz (Pennsylvania) Community and building. Currently, they have over 150 members and have raised over $150,0000 in support of the Lititz Community.
Fourth of July Fact: Calvin Coolidge is the only US President to be born on the Fourth of July. However, so was Nathaniel Hawthorn, Niel Simon, George Steinbrenner, and Malia Obama.
