A RAISIN IN THE SUN!
It's April 30th everybody and this
is "National Raisin Day!" Raasins
have been around for a very long time.
They were first produced in Egypt and
Persia as far back as 2,000BC! They are
a very healthy snack. Chances are you
got one of those small pocket sized bot
of raisins with some of your school snacks
back in the day. Those boxes are still sold.
The day was staryed in 1909 by the California
Raisin Grower's Association. They did a lot
of promotion in newspapers, and radio and
local restaurants all across the state featured
dishes containing raisins! You can make your
own! Get some grapes, wash them, then put
them out on a clean sheet like a baking sheet
under the warm sun for three or four days and
you'll have yourself some fresh raisins. You're
probably wondering where I got all this information
about raisins. Well I'm glad you asked. I heard it
through the Grape Vine! Hope all your NEWS
is good!
