⛱National Themes For August 19: International Bow Day, National Aviation Day, and National Soft Ice Cream Day.

👒International Bow Day recognizes the accessory that has been changing fashion for centuries, bows! During the 18th century the bow was primarily worn by men, but as fashion trends changed women wore the accessory in a variety of fabrics, sizes and styles. Since then, bows have never really gone out of style, though the placement and designs have changed according to the whims of fashion. On International Bow Day, celebrate your style with bows not only in your hair but on a whole range of fashion accessories.

✈️National Aviation Day is dedicated by Presidential Proclamation to those who helped pioneer aviation in the United States. Two American inventors and aviation pioneers, the Wright brothers are credited with inventing and building the world’s first successful airplane and making the first controlled powered and sustained heavier-than-air human flight on December 17, 1903. Established in 1939 by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, this holiday was issued a presidential proclamation designating the anniversary of Orville Wright’s birthday to be National Aviation Day. Born August 19, 1871, Orville Wright was still alive when the proclamation was issued and went on to live for nine more years until his death in 1948. Proclamation USC 36:I:A:1:118 allows the sitting United States President to proclaim August 19 as National Aviation Day each year. If desired, the President’s proclamation may direct all federal buildings and installations to fly the U.S. flag on that day and may encourage citizens to observe the day with activities that promote interest in aviation.

🍦National Soft Ice Cream Day! Soft service ice cream is the result of air being introduced to the dairy product during the freezing process. In 1934 on Memorial Day weekend, Tom Carvel had a flat tire on his ice cream truck in Hartsdale, New York. After pulling into a parking lot, he began selling the softened ice cream to vacationers driving by. With amazement, seeing the love that people had for soft ice cream, he concluded that a fixed location selling the new-found dessert was potentially a good business idea. In 1936, Carvel opened his first store on the original broken down truck site, selling his secret formula soft serve ice cream dispensed from his patented super low-temperature ice cream machines.

I would like my soft ice cream to come from DQ and I prefer the chocolate.Yummy!

Warm hugs!🐶💕🌤
