National Cherry Month
National Fiber Focus Month

National Grapefruit Month
National Heart Healthy Month
National Hot Breakfast Month
National Snack Food Month
Potato Lover’s Month
Sweet Potato Month

*Is it Patty or Pattie? York calls
its product a Peppermint Pattie,
but a pattie refers to a meat product. According to the dictionary, “patty” is more correct for the candy.
