National Doughnut Day

 That's right; the first Friday of June is National Donut Day. So look out because every cop on every corner will be looking for that free donut!

I know what you are thinking, another commercial day but for the bakery industries. Not so different than say Mothers Day, started by who? Hallmark Greeting Card Company.
Well believe it or not this special day was not started by Dunkin Donuts or Krispy Kreme.
The Salvation Army actually started the unofficial holiday way back in 1938.
The idea came to commemorate the female volunteers who served doughnuts and coffee to the soldiers during World War I.
