Boy Overturns Snowball Law

Boy Overturns Near Century Snowball Ban

This happy news story of a boy who overturned a near-century snowball ban is inspiring!

Here is the amazing true story of how nine years old, Dane Best who changed a nearly 100-year-old law in Severance, Colorado!

The inspiring Dane first learned of the technicality ban during a visit to the town hall of Severance, which is north of Denver. The outdated rule founded with the town was part of an old ordinance outlawing the “throwing of missiles, such as stones, at property or people”

Kyle Rietkerk, the assistant to the Severance town administrator, said

“All the kids always get blown away” when they find out was illegal to throw snowballs there, So, what ends up happening is [town leaders] always encourage the kids with, ‘You have the power you can change the law’. No one has,” he said.

Dane said he was encouraged to fight for the cause on behalf of his friends and other children. To lift the ban, Dane had to present to the local town board. During his confident three-minute presentations, he advocated for the right to have a little fun throwing snowballs saying…

“The children of Severance want the opportunity to have a snowball fight like the rest of the world, the law was created many years ago. Today’s kids need a reason to play outside.”

After the young and inspiring Dane Best’s presentation, the result was unanimous from officials, and the ban was officially lifted.

To celebrate this new winter freedom, the town’s mayor handed Dane and his four-year-old brother Dax the first legal snowballs in the town’s history.

Dane said his little brother would be his first target and that he would avoid breaking windows.

Derrick Best, Dane’s father, told CBS Denver the following: “We are proud of him for taking an initiative to make some change, no matter how small it may be,”

Watch a happy interview with Dane on Good Morning Britain below.

How Winnie The Pooh Came To Be

Learn about the history of Winnie The Pooh and how he came to be, along with a neat look at the author who created him, A.A., Milne.

Winnie The Pooh and his beloved friends have been delighting children for nearly 90 years and counting now!

Thanks to the imagination of A.A. Milne dear Winnie has become a favorite book, show, play a stuffed animal, and movie to many.
Let’s take a trip through time to find our how Winnie The Pooh came to be!

“I knew when I met you an adventure was going to happen.” – A.A. Milne

The man who brought us Winnie:  A.A Milne

 He received his BA in mathematics from Cambridge before focusing on writing. He was hired to produce humorous pieces for the magazine “Punch”,  a British weekly magazine of humor and satire. During this time he played on a cricket team with future beloved authors J.M. Barrie ( Peter Pan)  and Arthur Conan Doyle ( Sherlock Holmes)

 He served in World War from 1915-1919, enlisting in the Royal Warwickshire Regiment, and then worked in the Royal Corps of Signals. Milne became a lieutenant but was discharged while injured and settled in London with his wife where his son Christopher Robin was born in 1920

During his military service, Milne had written his first play, a one-act farce. He became a success as a playwright, publishing 18 plays and three novels including a detective story. In 1924 he published a collection of children’s poems titled “When We Were Very Young” inspired by his four-year-old son’s and followed by another 2nd collection of poems 

Not yet known as Pooh, Winnie The Pooh first appeared as a poem “Teddy Bear,” published in Punch magazine in February 1924. Winnie the Pooh was unveiled on the London Evening News on Christmas Eve, 1925, in a story called “The Wrong Sort Of Bees.” The first Winnie-the-Pooh story classic “Winnie the Pooh” published in 1926 Followed in 1928 by ” The house at Pooh corner” and thus the adventures of Winnie The Pooh began! 

 FUN FACTS:
Many of the locations of the fictional Hundred Acre Wood derive directly from Five Hundred Acre Wood in Ashdown Forest and now serve as popular tourist spots!

Heartwarming Thanksgiving Surprise Good News Story For Town Of Two

A town of two gets an extra special Thanksgiving in this heartwarming Thanksgiving surprise story from the folks at Ancestry.

When someone says the words “small town” images of an old-fashioned sleepy town with a few necessary stores a couple of hundred kind folk come to mind. Well, today, the town of Gross, Nebraska has a population is 2.

A smiling women and man taking a selfie next to a town road sign that says Gross, population 2.

In fact, ALL of the residents of the town moved except Mary and Mike Finnegan.

And so, for the last 33 years, the Finnegans have been the town’s sole residents,
keeping Gross on the map.

They operate a small restaurant, the Nebraska Inn, where they welcome travelers of all kinds—providing comfort, hospitality, and the best burger around.

Through their warmth and steadfast traditions, Mary and Mike have ensured that the spirit of Gross lives on.
Coffee still costs a nickel, and anyone who dares to curse has to glue a dollar to the wall.

A older couple smiling in front of a building.

Word of this tiny town got back to Ancestry, a DNA test company that traces family trees.
They were inspired not only to reunite them with some relatives, but they also with ancestors of the town’s founders.
Making it a truly memorable,Thanksgiving where the past and present came together!

Ancestry searched its extensive historical records to create family trees. and contacted people with a connection to Gross. 
They set about to bringing them “home” too rediscover a piece of their family history.
For some, this would be the very first time to the town of Gross.

Many happy children and adults gathered round a bonfire outside.

Fifty people came home to Gross, Nebraska, for a pre-Thanksgiving celebration this year at Mike and Mary Finnegan’s restaurant, the Nebraska Inn.

The huge feast ended with Mary and Mike’s family and their new friends roasting marshmallows over a campfire and lighting sparklers.

The Finnegans’ three children and eight grandchildren were there, discovering they’re related to people they’ve known their entire lives.

“The couple was ecstatic and heart warmed that the event came to life, Mary said “Oh my goodness gracious, it’s just amazing,” she said in a phone interview. “I can’t give you any words to describe how grateful I am for that. It was just an absolutely perfect day. It expresses the importance of family, getting together, and having a place for everybody to call home and come to for holidays. I hope everyone who was there learned that important bit of information.” Ancestry
