About Hutchinson Kansas, KS
Hutchinson is the largest city and county seat in Reno County, Kansas, United
States, and located on the Arkansas River. It has been home to salt mines since
1887, thus its nickname of "Salt City", but locals call it "Hutch". Each year,
Hutchinson hosts the Kansas State Fair, and National Junior College Athletic
Association (NJCAA) Basketball Tournament. It is the home of the Kansas
Cosmosphere and Space Center aerospace museum and Strataca formerly known as
Kansas Underground Salt Museum. In 1887, the Chicago, Kansas and Nebraska
Railway built a main line from Herington through Hutchinson to Pratt.[8] In
1888, this line was extended to Liberal. Later, it was extended to Tucumcari,
New Mexico and El Paso, Texas. It foreclosed in 1891 and taken over by Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific Railway, which shut down in 1980 and reorganized as
Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas Railroad, merged in 1988 with Missouri Pacific
Railroad, merged in 1997 with Union Pacific Railroad. Most locals still refer to
this railroad as the "Rock Island". Salt was discovered in Reno County by
Benjamin Blanchard on September 26, 1887. This gave rise to the first
salt-processing plants west of the Mississippi River. Salt was originally
extracted using the evaporation method by pumping water into brine wells. In
1923, the Carey Salt Company opened the only salt mine in Hutchinson, which then
produced rock salt. That mine is still in use today and is now operated by
Hutchinson Salt Company. Cargill and Morton Salt also have evaporative salt
plants in Hutchinson. Excavated portions of the mine are used for archival
storage of movie and television masters, data tapes, and permanent business
records. Underground Vaults & Storage currently houses the masters for The
Wizard of Oz (1939), Gone with the Wind (1939), and Star Wars (1977), among many
others.

life. Every human on earth has been given a chance to
fulfill their own unique mission. A birthday is an important

the glow of the moon, and the smoke from the candles carried
their prayers and wishes to the Gods who lived in the skies.

from the Egyptians, since just like the celebration of the

75 so on and so forth.

start putting candles on birthday cakes?

light. Cakes specifically for birthdays (rather than
weddings) originated in 15th century Germa

the 18th century children's birthday parties called
Kinderfesten became popular.
Do your
birthday wishes come true?
Their belief that smoke from the candles carried prayers to
the gods may have been the origin of making wishes when we
blow out the candles on our birthday cakes. ... However,
whether a wish comes true or not doesn't have anything to do
with birthday candles, shooting stars, or eyelashes.
Sometimes it's just chance.

Jehovah's Witnesses and some Sacred Name groups refrain from
celebrating birthdays due to the custom's pagan origins, its

"The bumps", or "the dumps" in Scotland, a birthday torment
common in countries such as the UK, Ireland, Canada, and
India, involves the friends and family of the person whose
birthday it is taking him or her by the arms and legs, and
"bumping" him/her up into the air and down onto the floor.
