Blick's Blog: June 2012

  • Father's Day Special

    We love Dads. They're pretty special guys and we're definitely grateful for the Dad's who have helped shape our lives here around Blickenstaff's. We know your Dad is a special guy too so we want to reward him! He deserves it, right?!

    Ok, so here's what we're doing. Come into the store, today or tomorrow and we'll give your Dad/Father/Papa or whatever you call him a FREE Dad's soda.
    Yes, FREE!

    The only catch is that you have to take a picture of your dad holding his soda and post the picture to your Facebook as you check-in at Blickenstaff's. It's so easy! We're only going to do this for the first 100 Dads that come in this weekend!

    Bring your Dad by for an awesome vintage soda! It's the perfect way to kick off your Father's Day celebration!

  • The American Flag

    In case you didn't know - today is Flag Day! It's is not technically an official holiday, but is still a day observed and recognized nationwide. We are so grateful for the sacrifices of those who have gone before us to help establish a free nation like the one we enjoy.

    To celebrate Flag Day here are a few fun facts you might now have know about our Star Spangled Banner...

    *Our flag has several nicknames: Old Glory, Star spangled Banner
    *On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress replaced the British symbols of the Grand Union flag with a new design featuring 13 white stars in a circle on a field of blue and 13 red and white stripes
    *This flag may have been made by the Philadelphia seamstress Betsy Ross, who was an official flag maker for the Pennsylvania Navy.
    *For a brief period of time the number of stripes changed to 15 - but was later returned to the original 13.
    *The President is requested to issue each year a proclamation to: call on government officials in the USA to display the flag of the United States on all government buildings on Flag Day.
    *Flag Day did not become official until August 1949, when President Harry Truman signed the legislation and proclaimed June 14 as Flag Day.
