Quirky Summer Holidays

June has some unusual holidays.

Winter has packed its bags and made way for summer, which has officially arrived in Elk Grove. There are numerous things associated with summer- days at the beach, backyard barbecues, roasting hot weather, and such.

A vast number of important holidays take place in the summer as well, like the fourth of July. However, there are also a lot of lesser-known, often humorous, holidays in the summer, like the Elk Grove recently celebrated on June 1st. Here's a few of the strange holidays that are happening this month:

  • June 9th: Donald Duck Day
  • June 10th: Ball Point Pen Day (also Iced Tea Day!)
  • June 11th: Corn on the Cob Day
  • June 12th: National Peanut Butter Cookie Day
  • June 16th: Fudge Day (also Recess at Work Day- seems like a pretty good day)
  • June 19th: Garfield the Cat Day
  • June 22nd: Take Your Dog to Work Day
  • June 23rd: Pink Flamingo Day
  • June 28th: National Handshake Day

There's a holiday for just about anything this month! Happy June!
