Friday, June 7 marks National Doughnut Day. Yes, there's a day designated to pay homage to those sugary, fried pieces of dough.
Baldwin Park has many options to enjoy the holiday, including Yum Yum Donuts, Coffee Express Donuts and La Michoacana.Â
Silly holidays happen all the time, and Friday is National Donut Day, a fantastic opportunity for lovers of the fried ring of dough to throw that diet to the wind.
Despite its silly title, the holiday actually has a meaningful history: it was started in 1938 by the Salvation Army to celebrate the women who served donuts to soldiers in the first World War, according to donutdayusa.com.
