Welcome new Town Planner sponsor MaddCatt Vapors


Welcome MaddCatt Vapors to the Town Planner family of sponsors.
MaddCatt Vapors is an e-cig & vapor store featuring The Maddcatt Premium e-juice line!

They have worked very hard to bring you products of exemplary quality. Each flavor has been carefully developed and taste tested before it was
released.

Admittingly, we here at Tri State Town Planner know little about vaping and e-cigarettes, but can see where it is a preferred alternative to cigarette smoking.

The First American Christmas

The first Christmas celebration in what was later to become the continental United States took place in St. Augustine, Florida, in 1565. Old documents inform us that Father Francisco Lopez de Mendoza Grajales presided over a Christmas service held at the Nombre de Dios Mission in that year. The Shrine of Nuestra Señora de la Leche now marks this location. Still, residents of Tallahassee, Florida, suspect that an even earlier Christmas celebration may have been held near the site of their town. In 1539 a party of Spanish colonists, led by explorer Hernando de Soto, camped near the place where Tallahassee now stands. Since the Spaniards stayed from October 1539 to March of the following year, some Floridians speculate that they must have celebrated Christmas there.
