August: Days to Celebrate




The end of summer is nearing however not without a slew of reasons to celebrate in August. We start off with August 1st - National Mustard Day followed by August 2nd - Friendship Day, August 3rd - Watermelon Day, August 4th - Chocolate Chip Day, August 7th - Lighthouse Day, and August 8th - Happiness Happens Day. This year, in particular, the 8th will be happy because all the sock knitting eyes will be on Portland Oregon and the one-of-a-kind Sock Summit.

We have the opportunity to celebrate our national heroes on August 14th with National Code Talkers Day, artists of all things sandy on Sandcastle and Sculpture Day and my own favority hero, my dad and his 89th birthday on August 15th. Way to go, Dad!

As the kids are getting ready to go back to school they should be able to celebrate August 17th Pencil Day while school supply shopping.

For all you pilots out there August 19th is Aviation Day. And after flying somewhere fun you may as well celebrate August 24th National Waffle Day over breakfast. Let's hear the cheers for combined celebration of National Hotdog Day and Women's Equality Day on August 26th, Global Forgiveness Day August 27th, ending the month with National Toasted Marshmallow Day on August 30th. And to top it off, August is National Panini Month.

Labor Day, signalling the end of summer is right around the corner. And to top it off, August is National Panini Month.

I hope all of you have found lots of fun things to celebrate!
