National Donut Day: will you be taking part?
Today is National Doughnut Day, and to mark this great occasion, Krispy Kreme is said to be giving away freebies at some locations around the country. According to reports Southwest Airlines plans to give out 54,000 doughnuts on various flights originating from several mid western and southern cities today.
I love Doughnuts but hay who don’t, I might just have to get myself some today.
National Doughnut Day always falls on the first Friday of June each year. In 1917, the Salvation Army female volunteers known as “lassies” prepared thousands of fresh donuts to the homesick soldiers that served in France during World War I and was officially established in 1938 by the Chicago Salvation Army to help raise much-needed funds during the Great Depression.
How will you be spending today? Eating donuts maybe!
