Americans Commemorate National Ice Cream Month
Arriving on the heels of June Dairy Month, members of the dairy industry will now turn their attention to the celebration of National Ice Cream Month. Started in 1984, then-president Ronald Reagan designated July as the official time of year to acknowledge the importance of ice cream in the U.S. He also declared the third Sunday of the month (July 18 this year) as National Ice Cream Day. Reagan recognized ice cream as a fun and nutritious food that is enjoyed by 90% of the nation's population.
