Come join us at the U.S. Bank Plaza for a cup of coffee and free donut made by Sandy's Donuts using the original WWI recipe. The FM Golden Notes New Horizon Band will be performing patriotic songs beginning at 10:30 a.m. National Donut Day takes place the first Friday in June to honor the "donut lassies" who served coffee and donuts to the soldiers in the trenches during WWI and WWII. These brave women were on the front lines serving donuts and coffee to bring the soldiers comfort and also to be a link to their families back home. During the Great Depression, Donut Day became a fundraiser to support the work of the Salvation Army. Today, we celebrate Donut Day to honor the brave men who served our country and the brave women who served them.
