July fun facts

Did you know...

July is the hottest month of the year in the Northern Hemisphere and it's National Ice Cream Month (thanks to President Reagan!).

More than 150 million hot dogs are eaten on the 4th of July. Neil Armstrong took “one small step for man” in July 1969!

The term “Dog Days of Summer” actually comes from ancient astronomy, not hot dogs or lazy pups lounging in the sun.

The phrase refers to the period in late July and early August when the star Sirius, known as the "Dog Star", rises and sets with the sun.
Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky and part of the constellation Canis Major (Latin for “Greater Dog”).
The ancient Greeks and Romans believed that the combined heat of Sirius and the sun was responsible for the hottest, most sultry days of the year.

Now, “Dog Days” are more about slow summer vibes, snoozing pets, and soaking up the sunshine — a perfect symbol for those hazy, lazy days of midsummer.
