National Vanilla milkshake day (I prefer chocolate myself)
AND National Ice Cream Soda Day (and yesterday was ice cream day – that’s getting to be a lot of ice cream this week).
It is also National American Eagle Day
National Hike With a Geek Day
National Seashell Day
National Kouign Amann Day. National Kouign Amann Day on June 20th each year celebrates a round crusty cake, made with a yeast-raised dough. Bakers create the cake by folding layers of butter and sugar inward, similar in fashion to a puff pastry or croissants but with fewer layers. They then slowly bake the resulting cake until the butter puffs up the dough creating the layered aspect of it and the sugar caramelizes. Kouign amann is pronounced kween ah-mon.
And International Nystagmus Day. International Nystagmus Awareness Day on June 20th brings attention to a condition that can cause severe vision problems among other concerns. The day aims to bring tools, resources, and opportunities for education to the forefront.
Depending on the type of nystagmus, treatments, and symptoms vary. Approximately 1 in 1000 babies are born with nystagmus, but adults are affected by it, too.
Nystagmus presents as drifting or wobbly eyes with two basic types of nystagmus: Jerk nystagmus – As the name suggests, the eyes jerk quickly in one direction and are then followed by slow movements in the opposite direction. Pendular nystagmus – The eyes move with equal speed in either direction.
Anne and Samantha Day. Celebrated bi-annually on the summer solstice and the winter solstice, Anne and Samantha Day honors Anne Frank and Samantha Smith.
