DESCRIPTION:

National Root Beer Float Day is the day when people celebrate the Root Beer Float, basically root beer with a scoop of ice cream.

Root beer float was invented by Frank J. Wisner in Cripple Creek, Colorado in August 1893. Legend has it that Wisner, while thinking of how to provide soda to the townsfolk of Cripple Creek, he saw the snow on top of Cow Mountain and it reminded him of vanilla ice cream. Being the Owner of the Cripple Creek Cow Mountain Gold Mining Company, he also owned a bar. He added a scoop of vanilla ice cream to the Myers Avenue Red Root Beer. He liked the taste so he served it to his customers the next day which became an instant hit.

Root beer itself is a beverage of the native Americans and was first created from the sassafras or sarsaparilla root. Charles Elmer Hires was the first person to commercially produce root beer in 1876.
