The Fourth of July is a great time to get together with friends and family members for BBQ, games, fireworks, and other celebrations in honor of our country’s independence. While your fellow revelers eat hot dogs and wave flags, you can impress them by sharing these fascinating facts and historical tidbits about some of our country’s traditions and symbols from the team at Moorpark Center for Dentistry.

The Statue of Liberty

With a torch in one hand and a tablet in the other, the Statue of Liberty is one of the most iconic and recognizable symbols of our country. However, as recognizable as certain parts of the statue are, not many people know that broken shackles, which represent oppression and tyranny, are lying at Lady Liberty’s feet. According to the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation, the copper-plated lady weighs in at a whopping 450,000 tons and has been holding her torch up for more than 125 years, which must make for some impressive arm muscles.

Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest

Since 1916, people have been flocking to Coney Island on the Fourth of July to witness what some people call the “superbowl of competitive eating.” Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating contest challenges competitors to devour as many hot dogs as they can in just ten minutes, with the current record holder swallowing a whopping 68 hot dogs! If you’d like to witness this bizarre and frenzied eating competition but you won’t be anywhere near Coney Island on the fourth, don’t worry. ESPN has been broadcasting this popular event for several years, so you can watch from the comfort of your couch while you eat a reasonably portioned meal.

The History Behind Fireworks

Viewing the nighttime fireworks display is exciting way to finish off the fourth. Many people know that these brilliant displays probably originated with the Chinese. However, many historians also believe that fireworks were stumbled upon when the Chinese roasted bamboo sticks over fires and watched them explode. After many years of roasting the sticks, a group of alchemists created an early form of gunpowder, which they stuffed into the bamboo sticks to create an even more powerful explosion, paving the way for the today’s modern fireworks.

Whether you’re planning on visiting the Statue of Liberty, watching fireworks in Moorpark, CA, or even participating in a hot dog eating contest, Dr. Zachary Potts and our team hope you have a safe and fun-filled holiday. Happy Fourth of July!

Your Top-Rated & New Favorite Dentist In Moorpark, CA

Moorpark Center for Dentistry is outstanding! Every single staff member from front to back is absolute amazing. They are kind, and friendly, and the complimentary menu is a bonus! My husband and I have both been in a few times, for regular cleanings and emergencies and have been beyond impressed. Today was my daughter’s first dentist visit and they hit it out of the park! We will continue using Dr. Potts and his amazing team! Cheers!

Dr. Potts and his staff are amazing. I had a problem with a tooth and they got me in right away. I was surprised since I was a new patient. Everyone in his office is so nice and very efficient. They made me feel so comfortable. Their warming and massage dental chair is awesome. If you are looking for a new dentist, I highly recommend Moorpark Center for Dentistry.
