National Donut Day




It is the first Friday in June and it is National Donut Day. A day declared to celebrate and indulge in those sweet rings we know as donuts. The celebration of Donut Day started in Chicago back in 1938 by the Salvation Army.  To honor all of the ladies who served donuts to the U.S. armed forces during World War I.  It was declared as a day of celebration for these ladies were known as the Salvation Army Lassies. This tradition also continued during World War II.  So in keeping with tradition each year the first Friday in June is celebrated as the day of the donut.
