a.k.a. Summer Solstice
a.k.a. Saturday, June 20-21, 2009
By declaring June 20-21, the first day of summer, National Flip-Flop Day, I thought we could create a little summer fun and hope the sun will follow! Besides, wearing Flip-Flops has good karma and lifts the spirits!
Imagine thousands of people (or maybe just Olympic Cellars’ customer list) flip-flopping away on Saturday. The thought just makes you smile. The impetus behind this brainchild? Flip-Flops, those fun, colorful, rubber sandals, are in my mind synonymous with summer.
Show up at the winery wearing flip-flops and wine tasting is complimetary!
“Now, we’re talking true flip-flops, not Birkenstocks or any type of open-toed shoe that entices northwesterners to wear socks. Though the Pacific Northwest introduced the concept of ‘socks and sandals,’ our philosophy is that if enough people wear real flip-flops on National Flip-Flop Day, the sun just has to follow!”!

On a more serious note, we all know that many Americans are suffering in this slow economy, and that there is a lot of “bad stuff” happening in our world over which we have no control. We all help where we can but uncertainty can leave you anxious when thinking about the future. Wearing Flip-Flops for one day is not going to solve the issues facing our world and I’m not trying to make light of them. But, we all have the power to make a difference within our own sphere of influence. So take the time to reach out to those dearest to you… celebrate life and National Flip-Flop Day! As we like to say at the winery... savor the moment and cherish the memories.
