National Ice Cream Month
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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.[1] 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." Unfortunately, many people do not even know that America even has a National Ice Cream Month.

The International Ice Cream Association (IICA) also encourages all retailers and consumers to celebrate July as National Ice Cream Month and National Ice Cream Day. This is because the ice cream industry provides thousands of jobs for its United States citizens and generates annually in sales approximately 20 billion dollars.[1] The economic well-being of the nation's dairy industry relies heavily on the sales of ice cream. This is because about 9% of all the milk produced by dairy farmers is used to produce ice cream.
