Uu is for Utah

January 4th is Utah's birthday

Utah became the 45th state to join the United States of America on January 4, 1896. The early name of this state was "Deseret" which means honeybee. Hard-working pioneers were busy bees who settled here. So the nickname of the state where you were born is the "Beehive State". Celebrate Utah's 116th birthday by drawing or cutting from colored paper a "Utah" shape for your Alpha-Book or calendar. Make an "X" or stick a star sticker in the part of Utah where you live. And have some honey on toast for a snack!

Happy Birthday Utah!
Love, Grandma
