Fun Facts about the 4th of July!

Nothing says summer at the Lake of the Ozarks quite like the 4th of July weekend! This holiday brings people to the Lake from all over the Midwest. This year, Shorty Pants Lounge & Marina wants to help get you in the mood for this exciting holiday with some fun trivia facts. You'll be able to wow your friends with your abundant 4th of July knowledge!

The 4th of July holiday dates back to 1776, when 56 men signed the Declaration of Independence.

At 70 years old, Benjamin Franklin was the oldest signer of Declaration of Independence. 

Edward Rutledge, 26 years old, was the youngest signer.

The Declaration was written by Thomas Jefferson.

8 of the signers of the Declaration were born in Britain.

Americans began celebrating the 4th of July immediately, but it did not become a recognized national holiday until 1870.

So far, Calvin Coolidge is the only U.S. President to have been born on the 4th of July.

According to TIME magazine, Americans consume about 155 million hot dogs on Independence Day.

Every 4th of July, Americans spend more than $600,000,000 dollars on fireworks.

John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and James Monroe are 3 presidents who all passed away on July 4th. Adams (2nd president) and Jefferson (3rd) actually died within a couple hours of each other in 1826.

Come show off your new knowledge at Shorty Pants any day this weekend! On Friday and Saturday, we're bringing you the best live music at the Lake of the Ozarks. Steve Woolley will tear it up on Friday, and Squiggle Fish will party with us on Saturday!

It's going to be a wonderful 4th of July weekend at the Lake of the Ozarks. Come out and celebrate with your favorite waterfront restaurant!

You may not remember a particular report your created in a sea of office work, but you'll definitely remember the night you and your family laughed around the table for hours at the best lakefront restaurant in the Ozarks.

2. Enjoy fabulous Cajun cuisine you can't find just anywhere!

We proudly offer a menu straight from New Orleans, complete with crab cakes, etouffee, and po' boys. We pay special attention to make sure everything you order practically bursts with flavors straight out of the South! Whether you've been a long time fan of Creole cuisine or you're just now giving it a try, you and Dad are sure to love all of our great lunch and dinner options!

3. Take advantage of our tiki bar!
For the 21-and-up crew, Shorty Pants Lounge and Marina is excited to offer our outside tiki bar! Enjoy any of our legendary cocktails, muddled Mojitos, and our Cajun Bloody Mary's. What better way to relax than to take in a beautiful lake view with a delicious drink in your hand?

4. Experience lakefront dining at its finest!
Everyone at Shorty Pants is dedicated to making sure you have the best possible experience. From live music every Friday and Saturday, to a diverse menu offering everything from wraps to Jambalaya, to a full service gas dock complete with a convenience store, we do our best to ensure you have a great time!

5. Great for just you and Dad OR the whole family!
Whether you're planning on making it a private outing with just you and Dad or bringing the whole family, Shorty Pants is the place to be! We offer all the amazing drinks you're looking for, but we didn't forget the kids menu! The little ones are sure to love our pasta, boneless chicken wings, mini corn dogs, or our grilled cheese -- and that's only a few of the options!
