Christmas in July has become quite popular in the United States. You can find all kinds of celebrations from shopping sales to promotions around the theme of Christmas in the summer. A North Carolina summer camp was credited for starting the concept of Christmas in July in the United States.
Many Southern Hemisphere countries such as Australia and New Zealand celebrate Christmas in July because it is the winter season there. Some common dates for Christmas in July are July 24 and 25. The Hallmark channel is no exception with the countdown to Christmas movies starting in July. Where would Christmas be without the ho-ho-ho of Santa?
State Wildlife Officer Ethan Bingham, assigned to Williams County, received a call from the Williams County Sheriff’s Office about a common loon in a yard. Officer Bingham captured the loon, which appeared to be healthy and unharmed. Loons need a large body of water to take off and fly. The loon was transported to Lake La Su An Wildlife Area, where it was released on a lake.
State Wildlife Officer Eric VonAlmen, assigned to Wood County, observed four individuals fishing below the dam at Mary Jane Thurston State Park. After fishing, the anglers left behind the trash they had accumulated as they prepared to leave. Two individuals placed plastic bait containers into the river, and a trash bag was thrown into the weeds. All four suspects received a summons for stream litter, and each paid a $150 fine.
