August 1 is Colorado’s statehood day. Unlike many other states, Colorado actually celebrates the day.
More accurately, people of Colorado celebrate the day. It seems most Colorado residents are happy to be there, and take any excuse to celebrate their good fortune.
#ColoradoDay even trended on Twitter for time today.
Under the provisions of the U.S. Flag Code, residents of a state are invited to fly the U.S. flag on their state’s day of statehood. Colorado came into the Union on August 1, at the declaration of President U. S. Grant, in 1876. People of Colorado tend to favor Colorado’s flag for most displays, on Colorado Day.
How are others celebrating? Free admission to Colorado State Parks, for one.

Well, yes, every other state has a statehood day, but don’t look for this effusive outpouring of state pride for many others, including Texas.
