Ice Cream Challenge

In 1984, President Ronald Reagan designated July as National Ice Cream Month and the third Sunday of the month is National Ice Cream Day. In the proclamation, he called for all the people of the USA to observe these events with “appropriate ceremonies and activities.” So, Let’s Celebrate!!

Are you up for a challenge???

Do you love ice cream???

Can you eat ice cream 31 days in a row???

YES, YES, YES!

This is your challenge. Create a JULY 2026 calendar or list, for your partner, which states what ice cream you ate each day of the month. Decorate the page, even minimally and include an ice cream treat. Enjoy your ice cream, in a bowl, in a cone, on a stick, no real requirements here - - it's ice cream.

Include a few “special thoughts or actions” on your list. For example, last year Michelle and I completed a private swap. In her region they have an ice cream passport and she completed it over the month and earned a commemorative stainless-steel tumbler On ice cream day, in Albuquerque there were celebrations all weekend, I hit four each day, talk about pacing. LOL

Find one NEW way to enjoy ice cream and tell your partner, maybe include a recipe. Locally we have a restaurant which serves breakfast oatmeal with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It was quite yummy.
