Happy August To All!! 

August is known for many things, including the dog days of summer, National Watermelon Day,  and National Smile Week. But there are many other fun facts associated with the last full month of summer.

Did you know that:

• Fans of Elvis Presley mourn each Aug. 16th, the day the famed singer died in 1977. ( Wait…that’s my birthday!!!)
• On Aug. 24th in 79 A.D., the volcano Mount Vesuvius erupted, destroying the city of Pompeii and others.
• On Aug. 21, 1911, the Mona Lisa was stolen from the Louvre Gallery and not recovered for two years.

But…more important…What has Clay Aiken done in August??

American Idol Tour – After a full month of touring, the last concert was on August 31, 2003

Clay graduated from UNC-Charlotte on August 6, 2003

Entertainment Tonight broke the news that Clay was voted the Sexiest Singer in Instyle’s Poll! – August 17, 2004

When a new month starts, it is fun looking up what Clay has done in that month.  There is always too much to use.   But…it is always fun to see all that Clay has done in the last 13 years!!  I look forward to adding good things to August, 2016!

Do you remember another event in August with Clay?
