July is Ice Cream month!
 President Ronald Reagan selected July as National Ice Cream Month and the third Sunday of the month as National Ice Cream Day, in 1984. He acknowledged ice cream as a fun and nutritious food that it is enjoyed by 90% of the nation's population. In the announcement, President Reagan called for all people of the United States to observe these events with "appropriate ceremonies and activities."
