<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><span style="font-size: large;">In 1984, President
Ronald Reagan designated July as National Ice Cream Month and the third
Sunday of the month as National Ice Cream Day. He recognized ice cream as
a fun and nutritious food that is enjoyed by over 90 percent of the nation's
population. In the <a data-mce-href="http://www.idfa.org/docs/default-source/National-Ice-Cream-Month/ice-cream-month-proclamation.pdf?sfvrsn=2" href="http://www.idfa.org/docs/default-source/National-Ice-Cream-Month/ice-cream-month-proclamation.pdf?sfvrsn=2" target="_blank"><span style="color: #990000; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">proclamation</span></a>,
President Reagan called for all people of the United States to observe these
events with "appropriate ceremonies and activities." </span></span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">Today is that day so...</span></div>

So anyway, we would love you to join in with our fun challenge, I can't wait to see all your newly gotten stash.<br />
Here are a couple of examples to get your inspirational juices flowing.<br />
