6/6 National Drive in
Movie Day: The history of the drive-in movie began in 1933. The Drive-in
movie was created due to the uncomfortable seating in theaters! Have you ever
been to a drive-in movie? One to check out is Delsea Drive In. Check the website for the schedule of events!
https://www.delseadrive-in.com/. Can’t make it to the Theater?? Transform your next movie night into a drive-in
movie night! Try creating a car for your
very own drive-in for your living room! All you need is a box, some colored
paper plates, duct tape or paint! Find the instructions here: http://viewsfromtheville.com/2015/06/17/diy-cardboard-box-car-drive-in-movie/

6/20 Summer
Solstice: Our summer solstice is not based on a specific date, but depends
on when the sun reaches the northernmost point from the equator. Therefore, the
first day of summer varies from year to year! You can also use this SUN CALCULATOR to
determine the sunrise and sunset for your time zone!

in our lives! While celebrating your dad

6/30 Meteor
Watch Day: Meteors are mainly observed at night and are visible at about 70
miles above the earth. Most meteors disintegrate between 31-51 miles above the
earth. You can observe meteors by finding a spot on a cloudless night and
gather some friends far from the city lights!
There are great websites that detail fun & often free
things to do in New Jersey every month! Call ahead and make sure the activities
