4th of July FREE Flower TRIVIA Contest!

by tomboesen on June 30, 2011

Everyone knows Boesen does holidays like no other, and July 4th is no exception.

The Fourth of July is a day for family, friends, food, fireworks, freedom, and most importantly,  (to us at least) flowers! Americans celebrate the Fourth of July as the day we declared independence, or did we? Did you know that America’s independence was actually declared on July 2nd and only adopted by Congress on July 4th?

This and other myths surround the celebration of our independence. Many people believe that the Declaration of Independence was actually signed on July 4th, but TRUE PATRIOTS know better.

QUESTION:

On what day was the Declaration of Independence ultimately signed?

Post the correct answer to this trivia question in the comments section below. The 10th post with a correct answer wins a FREE “Weber King of the Grill” bouquet from Boesen the Florist! With a beautiful arrangement of bright flowers placed in a perfect miniature replica of the legendary Weber® grill, this is the perfect bouquet to roll into your Fourth of July festivities!

Good luck.

This contest ends when the 10th correct answer has been submitted (duplicate answers will not be considered), approved and posted to flowersdesmoines.com. All entries will be posted in the order in which they are received.
To claim your prize, you can pick up the arrangement at the Beaverdale Boesn the Florist location OR Boesen the Florist will deliver the arrangement to you home or place of business FREE (only local Central Iowa deliveries qualify).
