232 years ago, the Declaration of Independence was adopted by the Continental Congress. Although it was not completed until August, the date of July 4, 1776 is the celebrated anniversary of our split from Britain’s rule.
Parades, fireworks, patriotic speeches, cannon and gunfire celebrations as well as family picnics and outings are traditional ways that Americans remember their freedom.

History in Vogue wishes you a safe, happy 4th of July

The post-mortem on the Fest in Las Vegas is coming soon…

in Nehalem Bay Park near Manzanita, Oregon.
Here’s an excerpt from the Cannon Blog at Oregon State Park website:

“Posted June 20
Been a while between updates, so here’s a catch-you-up.

The next public viewing is July 5, from 1-2 p.m.
Carpool or find some other way to reach the park … this is a holiday weekend and parking will be tight.
The viewing is in the Nehalem Bay State Park maintenance yard (there will be signs … it’s just inside the entrance to the park).

We had an exciting time in May. Oregon Public Broadcasting produces TV episodes for the nationally-broadcast show History Detectives. They’re producing a show on the cannon with the question: Are these from the USS Shark? To help gather more information on their origin, the show arranged for some x-rays of the cannon. Fuji Corportation donated time on one of their portable x-ray machines, and a company called PSI from Portland volunteered their time as industrial radiographers. It was a challenge to get some good, clear images, but they did produce a couple. It was cool to watch them in action, and the x-rays give us a peek beneath the heavy, crusty shell (made of sand and iron, sort of a natural concrete).”

Just had to say, you are looking quite fine for a gent of 70.

This week has been a maelstrom of activity at NW Limited…History in Vogue^TM!
Box building, finishing 8, count ‘em, 8 Beatles pieces, an Evel Knievel and a Yoda, and still managing to squeeze in a trip to the Emergency Room!

The Fest for Beatles begins Sunday, June 28, and that means packed and leaving on Friday morning.
Yes, it’s the thrill of the open road, and those lucky attendees to the Fest for Beatles at the Mirage Hotel and Casino!  If you live in the Las Vegas area, or will be visiting, this is a rare opportunity for you to see for yourself the best kept secret in the Northwest.

This means that we won’t be at our usual Sunday Market spot (Wah-wah-WAH), however we WILL be back the following weekend.
Stay tuned for who’s going to Vegas with us, and perhaps the odd report from the event.
