Happy 4th, Neighbors!

On this Independence Day, here's something that's been on the Archive site for quite some time -- but it seems appropriate to share today.

 

In 1976, as the United States was celebrating the bicentennial, cities across the country took pride in their own small contributions to the country's 200 years of existence. I can only assume that the ceramic stein seen here was part of the local Latrobe celebration.

With a sketch of Mister Rogers on the front, the text below reads "Mister Rogers" with "PUBLIC TELEVISION" underneath. On the back you can see a logo representing the local Latrobe celebration. In smaller print, under the logo, the text reads "LATROBE, A BICENTENNIAL COMMUNITY."

Happy 4th, neighbors.
