HAPPY JUNE!

Offbeat Holidays for June 2012

June 1st, National Doughnut Day: Originally created by The Salvation Army in 1938 to honor the women who served doughnuts to soldiers during World War I, National Doughnut Day takes place on the first Friday of June each year. Visit any participating US Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants on Friday, June 1st and receive a free donut with any beverage purchase. Krispy Kreme is also giving out free donuts for National Doughnut Day. Feel free to argue over which one is more delicious. (The answer is Krispy Kreme.)

June 2nd, National Trails Day: Whether hiking, cycling, horseback Riding, or more, get outside on June 2nd for National Trails Day. (You’ll need to work off all those Krispy Kremes.) Check out events sponsored by the American Hiking Society.

June 3rd, Chimborazo Day: On June 3rd, we celebrate Chimborazo, an inactive volcano that beats Mount Everest for the point on Earth that’s closest to the Moon and farthest from the Earth’s center. This is definitely one of the stranger June holidays.
