One more for Donut Month 2014…not sure what year this was but guessing it’s during WW1. With little more than a pack on their backs and a M1903 rifle, our soldiers fought long and hard to keep the world free from tyrants.

As we continue to celebrate Donut Month 2014, let’s go back to the year that the first crystal-clear FM radio transmission was heard, Frank Sinatra gave his premiere singing performance in Indianapolis, Walt Disney’s “Pinocchio” premiered in New York City, Boston’s Jimmie Foxx HR went over Comiskey Park’s left field roof, McDonald’s opened its premiere restaurant in San Bernardino, California…
…and a box of donuts, a ball of string, some bow ties and a few good friends was all you needed for a great night of fun and games!
It’s harvest time, and as we all know, harvest time is donut time! First proclaimed in 1928, this year we celebrate the 86th annual Donut Month. This classic work of art celebrates Donut Month, 1949.
