Ice Cream, Flags, Fathers, Fishing, Summer - What's Not To Love About June?


June 7 - National Chocolate Ice Cream Day 

Well, we don’t really need a National Day to have chocolate ice cream but hey, it’s another excuse to break out a pint for yourself and maybe share with a friend. So go for it!
June 14 - Flag Day
Flag Day is celebrated to commemorate the adoption our national flag. June 14th, 1777 was the resolution of the Second Continental Congress, which adopted the flag of the United States.



June 16 - Father’s Day
Today is the day to celebrate your father or a father-figure in your life. Honor the one who tackled his role as “Dad” and lived it to the fullest. Do something special today for the father in your life.

June 18 - National Go Fishing Day 
For National Fishing Day, we hope the weather cooperates today and we can all go fishing! It is a great time to spend by yourself or with family. You can have some fun and catch dinner all at once.  We have some great fishing spots around here so grab your pole and some bait and have a great time fishing today!
June 21 - First Day of Summer
Yeah! It’s finally here! Let’s go to some music festivals and of course get ready for all of the great summer fairs. Some of our favorite summer activities include: eating watermelon and grilled corn on the cob, going to the state fair and simply enjoying the warm weather with some friends.



June 28 - Paul Bunyan Day

The legend of Paul Bunyan dates back to the 1800’s. This legend is believed to originate from French Canadians during the Papineau rebellion of 1837. There are many tales of Paul Bunyan that have been turned into children’s books, including stories of how Paul scooped out the Great Lakes to get water for his big blue ox named Babe. They also say the 10,000 lakes of Minnesota were formed from Paul and Babe’s foot prints when they were wandering through a blizzard.
