Here Comes July - National Ice Cream Month

National Ice Cream Month is celebrated by the US every July. This month was designated as national ice cream month by Ronald Reagan in 1984.  He also appointed the third Sunday in July as National Ice Cream Day. Reagan recognized the popularity of ice cream in the United States (90% of the nation’s population consumes ice cream) and stated that these two events should be observed with “appropriate ceremonies and activities.”

A great way to observe National Ice Cream Month and Ice Cream Day is to make ice cream in your ice cream ball! You get to be outside having fun AND make ice cream to celebrate!  For an added bonus, check out the Light Up Ice Cream Ball; it’s great for making ice cream while watching fireworks or sitting around the campfire!
