We needed a party theme with music and a menu. Guess who figured it out.
Back in early May 2016, and totally unrelated to blog work, we were brainstorming a theme for one of our visiting parties to take place in June. That's when we stumbled across the National Day Calendar site.
This site claims it has scoured the Internet since 2013 for mentions of just about every national day of somebody’s something to commemorate or celebrate. The database is searchable by day, week or month.
So, we clicked on June to find that three favorite things share this month. How much luckier could June (or us down to the wire on our party plans) be? It’s National Iced Tea Month. It's National Soul Food Month. AND June is National Accordion Awareness Month. Not difficult to pick the theme, music, and menu for the visiting party with those three!
But here would be a question: Besides the month of June, do accordions have anything in common with iced tea and soul food? How about the Bon Ton Soul Accordion Band for a big YES? And still going strong in their revival years: Their version of R&B? With this group as our soundtrack, this is going to be a great visiting party!
