For National Ferris Wheel Day: On Some Big Wheels

Something appropriate there is about the fact that National Ferris Wheel Day and Valentine’s Day are one and the same. I can’t think of a more romantic date activity than a ride on one of those things…though probably not on February 14: brrrrrr! Anyway, that’s not why this date was chosen for the celebration. It also happens to be the birthday of the ride’s creator George Washington Gale Ferris,…

National Cotton Candy Day

Today celebrates cotton candy, a popular confection at fairs, circuses, and amusement parks, that is almost all sugar. There is some indication that cotton candy originated from “spun sugar” in Europe in the 19th century. But, the story and creation of machine-spun cotton candy as we know it goes back to a handful of people at the turn of the 20th century, some of whom were, ironically, dentists. In 1897, confectioner John C. Wharton and dentist William Morrison invented the electric-spinning cotton candy machine, which they filed a patent for. At the 1904 World’s Fair, The Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis, they introduced their confection as “fairy floss.” They sold more than 68,000 boxes of their treat, at 25 cents a box, for a total of more than $17,000. Similarly, Thomas Patton also experimented in heating sugar to create cotton candy. His creation debuted at the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus around 1900. Some sources conflate the Patton story with the Wharton and Morrison story, and some also claim it was Patton’s machine that was used at the World’s Fair, after it was tweaked by the Electric Candy Machine Company. Whatever the case, it is clear that cotton candy debuted sometime around the turn of the 20th century.

Although the confection had been created, it did not yet have the name cotton candy. Another dentist, Josef Lascaux, built a machine and sold the treat to patients in his Louisiana office. It is believed that he is the one that changed the name to “cotton candy,” in 1921. In 1949, Gold Medal Products created an improved cotton candy machine that had a spring base, and most cotton candy machines are still made by this company today. Cotton candy machines are operated by putting a sugar called floss sugar into a small spinning bowl which heats it up. As it spins and heats, it gets pulled out into a larger outer bowl by centrifugal force, where it solidifies in the air, and is caught by a stick or cone. Although cotton candy consists almost entirely of sugar, it is now most times flavored and colored, with two of the most popular varieties being blue raspberry and pink vanilla.

How to Observe National Cotton Candy Day

Celebrate the day by eating cotton candy. Oftentimes it can be bought premade at a store. Although most commercial cotton candy machines are quite expensive, those for everyday residential use are not. You could celebrate the day by buying one and making your own cotton candy.

It's National Handwriting Day! Sharing a spread of my journal with my new tiny handwriting. Not exactly my natural style but I love the look of small writing and I get to write more, so small it is! This just goes to show how often I had time to do a full journal spread over the holidays... December 26- January 12... oh well! I kept up in my planners instead most of the time.

[“The site of the fair in South Chicago was nicknamed the “White City” for the massive and glistening white fake-marble buildings constructed specifically for the fair, not meant to be permanent, but rather templates for how a future city should appear, grandiose and imposing, as well as symbolizing the triumph of capitalism. On the carnivalesque midway of the White City was the Ferris wheel, which was invented for the occasion. Not far away, the historian Frederick Jackson Turner delivered his thesis, “The Significance of the Frontier in American History,” to the American Historical Association, which had convened its annual meeting at the exposition. Nearby, Buffalo Bill’s Wild West performed.

Without mentioning the 1890 Wounded Knee Massacre, Turner chose the year 1890 as the demarcation of the end of the frontier, warning that the seemingly endless moving frontier of white settlement that had formed US wealth, character, and culture had closed, and the future was not clear without the frontier escape valve for the teeming landless masses. Buffalo Bill had the answer: fantasy, reenactment, premiering the soon-to-be-born western movies.

Self-identified Christian socialist and ordained Baptist minister Francis Bellamy wrote a pledge of allegiance to the US flag in 1892, which was a presidential election year in addition to being the quadricentenary of Columbus. Both presidential candidates, Benjamin Harrison and Grover Cleveland, urged the use of the new pledge as a way of honoring Columbus. Bellamy’s stated goal for the pledge was to advance patriotism by flying the flag in every school in the country along with mandatory reciting of the pledge. Bellamy led the way in organizing teachers to use a packaged Columbus Day educational kit he assembled. In an amazing feat, on October 21, 1892, Bellamy and his volunteers were able to involve twelve million schoolchildren around the country, including a hundred thousand Chicago schoolchildren, to simultaneously salute the flag and recite the pledge of allegiance.”]
