2nd Annual
Beer Can Appreciation Day
When : Always January 24th
Now here's a day that I can really get into! Actually, I can "get
into" the stuff inside even more. Beer Can Appreciation Day
celebrates that great day in 1935 when beer was first sold in
cans.
Okay, laugh if you will. But, believe me when I say that Beer
Can Appreciation Day is a big and important day to many
people.
A lot of people do not know that there's a huge number of beer can
collectors out there. Collectors meticulously open a beer can from
the bottom, empty it (and drink the beer, of course), then wash and
dry it. For beer can collectors, there is no shortage of types of
beer, cans and bottles, and sizes. A beer can collector may have
hundreds of cans and bottles.
News You Can Use:
There's a market for beer cans. If you come across an old can, do
not throw it out. Check out the prices in a collector's catalog, or
on Ebay.
Beer Can Appreciation Day provides us with the opportunity
to enjoy and appreciate the many different kinds of beer cans.
Enjoy today by starting, or adding to your beer
can collection. As you empty the new cans, drink the
contents. After all, you don't want to be wasteful do
you?
Important Note:
Please drink
responsibly. And, if you drink.......don't drive.
Origin of Beer Can
Appreciation Day:
We know that this
day celebrates the first time beer was available in cans. We have
yet to discover the creator or the origin of Beer Can Appreciation
Day. Perhaps the originator opened up a few too many beer cans on
the day of creation, and ...uh.... didn't remember the next day.
Social
activities available:
Cooler Crew
Cachers feel strongly that winters are here to stay in
Minnesota. We feel that the citizens of Saint Paul and neighboring
communities should take advantage of this situation by
participating in the winter activities that are available in our
communities. Rather than hide from winter, people should go out and
have fun in it. We encourage everyone to live by the
Cooler Crew
Cachers credo:
