IT'S DANIEL'S DAY!

     SATURDAY, JUNE 7, 2025

         IT'S DANIEL'S DAY!

   June 7th is "Daniel Boone Day!"

But it's not the birthday or death

anniversary of the famed

frontersman. June 7th marks the

day in 1769 when Boone first

laid eyes on the hills and valleys

of what is not the State of

Kentucky. He began a setlement

there, Boonesborough which became

a stepping off place for pioneers to

head west. Boonesborough was

considered the first settlement

west of the Applacian Mountains!

Of course Daniel evebtually headed

west himself making a name for

himself that's know to most

everyone. And we should

remember that the great Daniel

Boone...is a native of

Pennsylvania!!! Hope you're

celebrating, perhaps doing a bit

of exploring yourself, and that 

all your NEWS is good!
