Quirky Summer Holidays

June has some unusual holidays.

Winter has packed its bags and made way for summer, which has officially arrived in Elk Grove. There are numerous things associated with summer- days at the beach, backyard barbecues, roasting hot weather, and such.

A vast number of important holidays take place in the summer as well, like the fourth of July. However, there are also a lot of lesser-known, often humorous, holidays in the summer, like the Elk Grove recently celebrated on June 1st. Here's a few of the strange holidays that are happening this month:

  • June 9th: Donald Duck Day
  • June 10th: Ball Point Pen Day (also Iced Tea Day!)
  • June 11th: Corn on the Cob Day
  • June 12th: National Peanut Butter Cookie Day
  • June 16th: Fudge Day (also Recess at Work Day- seems like a pretty good day)
  • June 19th: Garfield the Cat Day
  • June 22nd: Take Your Dog to Work Day
  • June 23rd: Pink Flamingo Day
  • June 28th: National Handshake Day

There's a holiday for just about anything this month! Happy June!

Every day should be recess at work day. Wait, I'll do this for everybody ... for state workers, it already is. :)

Why not down to Grantline and then head back north along the freeway? Plus Kammerer will eventuallyRead More be widened all the way to I-5 and commuters can use that too. Take Grantline to Kammerer to Bruceville.

An overpass and off/on ramps will be built at Whitelock Parkway after the mall is built, whichRead More should take place after the soccer stadium is built, which should take place after the city secures a professional soccer team. Elk Grove better make sure the professional soccer team is a women's team, or else LaWanna Montgomery will be mad.

Thanks for the suggestion. The City is currently studying a new interchange off 99 and Whitelock,Read More and the project is in our General Plan. We’re also updating the Elk Grove Blvd. onramp—currently one of the most outdated on 99 in the region. Work will begin this summer.
