According to the @sulphurmuseum, in the late 1800s Tampa's Sulphur Springs became a major tourist destination. Through the 1940s the springs featured a 40-foot water slide and alligator farm.

Happy National Dog Day! In 1960, Charles Benedict, 6 from Dallas, TX practiced @RedCross first aid techniques on his pup to promote the Dallas County Chapter's First Aid Week. #NationalDogDay

Happy #InternationalDogDay! This thread is a celebration of our four-legged friends, starting with this dog scratching his ear from an Athenian red-figure cup by the Euergides Painter. This pup dates back to 510-500 BC.
Do you have a favourite dog in the Ashmolean collection?

clearly the doggo got a haircut for the occasion!
The dog days of summer are almost over & fall's crisp air & cooler temperatures are on the horizon. As for fall outfits... we're taking fashion inspiration direct(oir)ely from these two individuals this season.

She also wears a large straw brimmed hat. The man wears a napoleon esque round hat, with a striped suit jacket, yellow pants, red striped socks, buckled boots. He is holding a wooden cane. A black poodle looks on at the man.

That last bit is true, the @MaryRoseMuseum collections team confirmed it.
More importantly, though, there's the ship's dog, Hatch, who was probably responsible for pest control, catching rats down in the storage areas.
He was also a good boy. Yes, he was. #InternationalDogDay

if anyone wants to try making waffles using these today i am available for taste-testing.
If you think making light, fluffy waffles is a challenge with your electric waffle maker, imagine the fun of using one of these irons. Don't forget that you'll be beating those egg whites by hand! Have you tried it, @oldsturbridge? #NationalWaffleDay
not surprisingly, i love letters!
Does your Friday Fun include snail mail? Let’s send each other a letter.
Dear friend, how are you? I am fine. Yours truly.

#OTD July 7th, 1928, "the best thing since wrapped bread" made its debut. You know what we're talking about: sliced bread. It was sold for the first time by Chillicothe Baking Company in Missouri. In honor of sliced bread, we're sharing our favorite Archives
#bread content.
as a doggo, i will not be celebrating #WorldChocolateDay today. however, if celebrating this holiday means there is excess peanut butter available then i am happy to help dispose of it.
Happy #WorldChocolateDay!
These two containers are a part of our country store exhibit. The Samoset Chocolates company was founded in the 1920s. The Iona Cocoa was produced by the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company. Do you know what that company changed its name to?
