BOOTLEGGER'S BALL
WEEKLY FUN FACT

1925 saw two states,
Wyoming and Texas elect
their first female governors.
The Exposition Internationale
des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels
Modernes was held in Paris,
giving a name to the Art Deco
style, and F. Scott Fitzgerald
published The Great Gatsby.
The silent film, The Big Parade, 
was groundbreaking for not
glorifying war and became the
highest grossing silent film in
cinema history.

Stay tuned to learn more
Prohibition-era trivia -- and get
details about The Bootleggers’
Ball, coming May 19, 2012.
