National Ice Cream Month
A whole month dedicated to celebrating ice cream may sound too good to be true,
but it is true. In 1984, President Ronald Reagan decided to make the entire month of
July national ice cream month. There is also a national ice cream day, which is
celebrated on the third Sunday of the month.
