Funky Holidays for June

Sneak a peek at July

Summer's almost here. If that ain't exciting, what is? School's out. Camp's starting. Vacation is upon us. The sun is bright, the water's wet and the ideas for parties are infinite.

June has lots to celebrate...for instance, did you know that it is:

  • National Accordion Awareness Month
  • National Candy Month (Boo-yeah)
  • National Candy Month
  • Dairy Month
  • Adopt-a-Shelter Cat Month
  • and, of course, Rebuild Your Life Month (now that's a thought...)

Well, you do now, but that's just the beginning. Try these out, too:

June 2:

Marquis de Sade's Birthday - Whether or not you're a sadist, you may still want to celebrate this man's birthday. Each to his own.

June 3:

Chimborazo Day - According to Chase's Calendar of Events, this is the day that publicizes that Mt. Chimborazo "pokes farther out into space than any other mountain on earth..." Near the equator and located in Ecuador, for some reason this proves that the Mississippi runs uphill. Go figure.

Casey at the Bat Anniversary - This was the day in 1888 that this ballad was first printed in the San Francisco Examiner. Sounds like a great day for a baseball-themed party.

Chuck Barris' Birthday - You remember him, he created the Gong Show, the Dating Game and the Newlywed Game. All great themes for a party.

June 4:

Bahamas Labor Day - A great time for a reggae party, right?

June 9 - Donald Duck's Birthday

Whoopee. Donald was born on this day in 1934. And he has entertained us ever since. Have people come dressed as The Donald (either one works) and do impressions. Give out prizes.

June 10:

Ball Point Pen Invented - Well, patented. Where would we be without the ballpoint pen? I can't even imagine. No BIC? Invented by Hungarian Laszlo Biro and "biro" in many languages means ballpoint pen. So there.

June 16 - Stan Laurel's Birthday

A great evening would be having people over to watch Laurel and Hardy shorts. Have cake and ice cream and pretend you and Stan were best of buds.

June 17:

Iceland Independence Day - Oh yeah. Iceland was originally part of Denmark and gained their independence in 1944.

Watergate Day - 1972. This is the day they arrested those Nixon-ites for breaking, entering and promoting political espionage. Tricky Dick went down.

June 20

Father's Day - Well, we have lots on the site about this but did you know...Father's Day was the well-meaning creation of Mrs. John Dodd of Spokane in 1910. Calvin Coolidge recognized the day when he was president, but it wasn't until 1966 that it became actually proclaimed. Whew.

June 23 - Anniversary of the Typewriter

Wow.

June 24 - Premiere of Hopalong Cassidy

A western TV series that premiered in 1949. Some of the shows were originally features but once on TV, they started producing additional shows. He was a great guy.

June 30

Leap Second Adjustment Time - This is the day you subtract or add 1 second to your clock. This is necessary to coordinate atomic and astronomical time and is made by the Central Bureau of the International Earth Rotation Service in Paris.

Lena Horne's Birthday - Perfect day for a blues party. She is 83 and was born in Brooklyn. And, as you know, she's a wonderful singer.
