Hello, as we all know, many of Galaxy Cauldron's members are from the United States, however we have a huge variety of members from outside the US and Princess Luna and I are here to give you a small taste of what its like to live in America!

First of all, as I'm sure many of you know, the US is a huge melting pot of culture and it can vary from state to state.  Life can be very different in complete opposite sides of the country.  Our small tour consists of two states, one in the south and one on the East (Atlantic) Coast: Louisiana and Pennsylvania.

In this thread you will find out two states quizzes so you can earn your World Fair Stamps!  Be sure to continue reading below to learn how to achieve them.




And with that I'll leave you with some facts about the US!

1. About 35 million Americans share DNA with at least one of the 102 pilgrims who arrived aboard the Mayflower in 1620.
   
2. US Highway 550 in Colorado became known as Million Dollar Highway because its roadbed was paved with low-grade gold ore.
   
3. The Liberty Bell was last rung on George Washington’s Birthday in 1846. It received its fatal crack a few hours later.
   
4. The seven rays on the crown of the Statue of Liberty represent the seven continents. Each measures up to 9 feet in length and weighs as much as 150 pounds
   
5. Although Ohio is listed as the 17th state in the U.S., it is technically 47th because Congress forgot to vote on a resolution to admit it to the Union until 1953.
   
6. Venus Fly Traps can only be found natively in the Carolinas and nowhere else in the world.
   
7. The American flag’s official colors are “Old Glory Red,” “White,” and “Old Glory Blue.”
