July: Days to Celebrate

First, I'd like to give a shout out to all my virtual friends in Canada. Have a great holiday!

Our own celebration is coming up on Saturday. In my town the largest fireworks display has been cancelled to save money. So, even though it is illegal to shoot off fireworks in the city without a permit I will bet there will be lots of impromptu displays around town.

In other days to celebrate, July is chock full of them. Here is just a sampling of fun things to do. You can celebrate National Hot Dog Day and National Ice Cream Day at National Picnic Day.

You can also celebrate today, along with Canada Day, Build A Scarecrow Day. Somehow I think those two things go together in the cornfields of central Canada. And today is also International Joke Day as well as National Postal Worker Day.

On July 6th you can celebrate Beatrix Potter's birthday and National Fried Chicken Day. OnJuly 8th, it is Video Games and Barns Day. On the 9th you can bake cookies for National Sugar Cookie Day and take them on the 10th to the Teddy Bear's Picnic Day.

By mid month you are probably about fooded out, but make room for National French Fry Day on the 13th. Then you can wear your beret and celebrate Bastille Day on the 14th followed by Cow Appreciation Day on the 18th.



Ugly trucks and chess share a day on July 20th and a special day has been set aside to celebrate? mosquitos. Who knew?! The end of the month brings Pioneer Day on the 24th, Threading the Needle Day on the 25th, All or Nothing Day on the 26th, the opportunity to celebrate your parents on the 28th and a chance to celebrate the two best food groups, lasagna and cheesecake on the 29th and 30th respectively.

So, don't let anyone tell you there is nothing to do this month. I think there is cause to celebrate something everyday!
