Happy Valentines Day!!

Happy Valentines Day everyone! Today on the show we had a performance by two of the stars of MSU-B's Play "Cinderella" and also Jeremy Vanatta and Kendall Merrick enlightened both Marc and I on the last minute gifts to buy your special someone! These segments can all be seen on the MTM website... Since it is Valentines Day... I found some cool facts about the holiday that you might enjoy:

• 73% of people who buy flowers for Valentine's Day are men, while only 27 percent are women.
  


• California produces 60 percent of American roses, but the vast number sold on Valentine's Day in the United States are imported, mostly from South America. Approximately 110 million roses, the majority red, will be sold and delivered within a three-day time period.
  


• Teachers receive the most valentines day cards followed by children, mothers, wives, and then, sweethearts.
  


• Children between ages 6 to 10 exchange more than 650 million Valentine's cards with teachers, classmates, and family members.
  


• A single perfect red rose framed with baby's breath is named by some florists as a "signature rose," and is the preferred choice for most for giving on Valentine's Day, anniversaries and birthdays.
  


• The red rose is the most popular flower sent.....The color red stands for strong romantic feelings making the red rose the flower of love.


• About 1 billion Valentine's Day cards are exchanged each year. That's the largest seasonal card-sending occasion of the year, next to Christmas.

• About 3% of pet owners will give Valentine's Day gifts to their pets.

HAVE A GREAT DAY WITH YOUR FRIENDS, FAMILIES AND SIGNIFICANT OTHERS!! :)
