A RAISIN IN THE SUN!

      FRIDAY. APRIL 30, 2021

      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!
