This post written by Stephanie Fader, Marketing & PR Manager
Can you believe we’re almost halfway through the month of August? The nights seem to be getting a little cooler and the kids are getting ready to head back to school. But summer isn’t over yet, so make the most of it with this week’s Reasons to Celebrate!
Tuesday, August 10 is S’mores Day. Invite some friends over to sit beneath the stars, relax by the fire, and enjoy this classic summer treat. A traditional s’more is comprised of a toasted marshmallow and piece of chocolate sandwiched between two graham crackers. Have you ever tried any alternative recipes? At a cookout over the weekend, we thought peanut butter or caramel would make a fun twist on the traditional recipe. If you have any other ideas, let us know!
Our second Reason to Celebrate that honors a summer favorite is National Creamsicle Cay on Saturday, August 14. The combination of orange and vanilla has pleased kids and adults alike for many, many summers. Get them from the ice cream man, your local super market or make your own!
Another interesting holiday this week is Left-Handers Day on Friday, August 13. This day acknowledges and celebrates left-handed people around the world. Are you a lefty? Join the club—literally!
Labor Day is also just a few weeks away. If you are still trying to figure out a theme for your party, why not make it a Strawberry Splash Labor Day party? Strawberries are one fruit that definitely evoke a summer feel and there are lots of delicious recipes that you can make with strawberries.
Here are the rest of the week’s Reasons to Celebrate:
- August 9: National Rice Pudding Day
- August 10: S’mores Day
- August 11: National Raspberry Tart Day
- August 12: International Youth Day
- August 13: International Left-Handers Day
