I know all little children love Red Wagons including myself and my children. I was planning my week I wanted to let you know March 27 was National Little Red Wagon Day.
Even though I might be late on letting you know about National Little Red Wagon Day it’s never to late to share facts about the Little Red Wagon because its the perfect way to have fun not only with our friends but our pets.
National Little Red Wagon Day celebrates little red toy wagons, specifically ones produced by Radio Flyer. I would like to let you know Radio Flyer created National Little Red Wagon Day in 2016, in anticipation of their 100th anniversary.
They established the day to celebrate children’s imaginations, and the wagons that help foster those imaginations. Toy wagons, which are similar in structure to their larger counterparts, were invented in the late 19th century, and were originally made of wood.
They have an open top, can usually comfortably seat one child, often have a pull handle in front, and are usually red.
I would like to let you know that besides Radio Flyer, there are other popular brands which include Red Rider, Northern Tool and Equipment, Lowe’s, Cardinal, and Speedway Express. Although for my family we only want the best for our children and that is Radio Flyer.
The company that would become Radio Flyer was started by Antonio Pasin in Chicago. Pasin started making wagons in 1917 while working as a craftsman selling phonograph cabinets.
Customers noticed the wagons he carried his tools around in, and started asking to buy them as well. After enough people requested the wagons, he shifted his focus to them.
He formed the Liberty Coaster Company in 1923, and began making metal wagons out of stamped steel in 1927. In 1930 the company was renamed Radio & Steel Manufacturing, and soon afterwards began making the Radio Flyer wagon.
The Radio Flyer was named in tribute to Guglielmo Marconi, who helped invent the radio, and Charles Lindbergh, who in 1927 made the first solo, nonstop airplane flight across the Atlantic Ocean.
Radio Flyers rose in popularity after the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair, where Pasin built a 45 foot tall statue of a boy riding a wagon. In 1987 the company changed its name to Radio Flyer in tribute to its popular little red wagon, and in 1997 they created the world’s largest wagon to celebrate their 80th anniversary. This wagon was once again used for their 100th anniversary.
National Little Red Wagon Day. is observed on Wednesday, March 27th, 2019. It has been observed the last Wednesday in March since 2016.
Thank you,
