🎉🎈 Happy National Peanut Day, Bentonville! 🥜🇺🇸

Mark your calendars because today, September 13th, we celebrate one of our most beloved nuts... or, technically, legumes - the peanut! 🌟 Whether you enjoy them salted, roasted, in a butter form, or transformed into delectable peanut brittle, there's no denying the universal appeal of peanuts.

**Why a National Peanut Day?**
The peanut has a rich history rooted deep in American culture. Did you know that the peanut plant originally hails from South America? European explorers were so taken by it that they brought it back across the ocean in the 16th century. In the U.S., the crop quickly found a home in the southern states, largely due to its versatility and nutritional value.

**A Fun Fact or Two:**
1. According to the National Peanut Board, peanuts contribute more than $4 billion annually to the U.S. economy.
2. George Washington Carver, an agricultural scientist, developed more than 300 uses for peanuts in the early 20th century, although he historically promoted other crops over peanuts to improve soil health.

**How to Celebrate?**
- Visit our local Bentonville Farmer's Market to grab some fresh peanuts or peanut-based goodies.
- Try making your own homemade peanut butter!
- Share a photo of your favorite peanut dish with us in the comments below.

Let's take a moment to appreciate this humble yet mighty legume that brings deliciousness to our plates and smiles to our faces! 😁🥜 Join the peanut party - tag us in your peanut-inspired creations and experiences today!

🌟 **Fun Fact of the Week: Did You Know?** 🌟

In Bentonville, Arkansas, the beloved home of the Walmart empire, there's a quirky relic of the past nestled within city ordinances! Back in the 19th century, wagons were a common mode of transportation, and some of their laws have stayed frozen in time. 🐴 For instance, it's technically still illegal to leave a wagon wheel on the town square overnight—an old law crafted to keep pathways clear and maintain order amidst a bustling wagon trade. 🚫🛞

While we don't see many wagons parked nowadays, it's a charming reminder of Bentonville's rich history and how much the town has grown. Next time you're in the town square, imagine the clattering sound of hooves and wheels echoing through the heart of Bentonville, where visions of the future and echoes of the past create a uniquely vibrant tapestry.

🎉 Happy National Cheap Flight Day! ✈️💸

Hello Bentonville and travel enthusiasts! Did you know that today, August 23rd, is celebrated as National Cheap Flight Day? It's not just a myth—this intriguing and wallet-friendly holiday is actually rooted in the rhythms of the airline industry!

The origin of National Cheap Flight Day is based on the travel industry's pricing patterns. Around late August, many airlines slash their ticket prices to kick off the fall and winter travel seasons, which generally see fewer vacation travelers. As summer vacation comes to a close and kids head back to school, airlines aim to fill those empty seats by offering tempting deals.

First recognized in the early 2000s, this day has become a travel-savvy swap meet, when travelers begin scouting for those precious lower-priced tickets. 🍁🛫

Whether you're jetting off to a cozy autumn getaway or planning a winter holiday escape, today might just be the perfect day to snag a deal on your dream vacation. So, start planning and get your travel gear ready!

Have you ever scored a deal on this special day? Share your travel tips and experiences in the comments below! 🌍✨
