May 28 - National Hamburger Day

Happy National Hamburger Day! On May 28, today wraps up National Burger Month and also ushers in summer grilling season. 

Ah, the hamburger. Seasoned ground beef, grilled and placed between two slices of bread or a bun. Topped with sauteed onions, peppers, pickles, sliced onions, or cheese.  

Add condiments such as ketchup, mustard, or mayo. Anyone of these combinations would create a modern American version a hamburger. 

The world’s largest hamburger was prepared on September 2, 2012, in Carlton, Minnesota by Black Bear Casino Resort and weighed in at 2,014 pounds! 

It is most likely that the hamburger sandwich first appeared in the 19th or early 20th centuries, but there is much controversy over its origin. 

Over the years, the hamburger has become a culinary icon in the United States. 

  

HOW TO OBSERVE 

  

Fire up the grill and get some patties started. Will you add cheese and make it a double? There are so many options when it comes to our burgers these days, how do we even decide anymore?

May 27 - National Senior Health & Fitness Day

Happy National Senior Health & Fitness Day! Senior citizens, its time to put on your sneakers today!  

  

On the last Wednesday in May each year, approximately one hundred thousand senior adults will participate in activities across the United States for this national observance. 

  

Many organizations offer special events especially for seniors:

• • Banks 

• • Health Clubs

Seniors benefit in numerous ways from physical activity. Exercises can be done at home, a community pool, or a local center. And seniors aren’t limited to just one type of exercise either.  

There are many to choose from. And many activities can be modified to fit any limitations. Yoga, walking, and swimming are all low impact routines that offer a range of benefits late in life and for all abilities.
