SUMMARY:National Scavenger Hunt Day
DESCRIPTION:National Scavenger Hunt Day on May 24th each year sends us off to find random items all in the name of good fun. \n#ScavengerHuntDay\nAmerican gossip columnist\, author\, songwriter\, and professional hostess Elsa Maxwell (May 24\, 1883 – November 1\, 1963) is credited with the introduction of the scavenger hunt for use as a party game in the modern era. \nThe game challenges teams to scavenge for a list of odd items. As part of the rules\, participants are not allowed to buy the objects. Depending on where the hunt takes place\, players may have to beg\, barter\, or even work for them\, too. Some scavenger hunts add difficulty to the game by adding riddles describing each item. The team with the most items\, or the first to complete the list\, wins. \nHOW TO OBSERVE SCAVENGER HUNT DAY\nScavenger hunts have become popular at weekend get-togethers\, parties\, family gatherings\, and holidays. Even co-workers put together scavenger hunts to keep the workday interesting. Practice your riddle-making and create a scavenger hunt for family and friends. \nIf you’re looking for a scavenger hunt\, download and print the Game Piece Scavenger Hunt we created. It can be played traditionally or at home. You don’t even have to have the game pieces to play the game. Print pictures of the required pieces. Add extra clues to the riddles to guide players to where the images will be found. \nUse #ScavengerHuntDay to post on social media. \nSource Link

SUMMARY:International Plastic Free Day
DESCRIPTION:International Plastic Free Day is a call to action and brings attention to the plastic we use every day. On May 25th\, commit to using no single-use plastic for one day (including bottles\, take-out food containers\, utensils\, bags and wrappers.) \n#InternationalPlasticFreeDay\nOver 380 million tons of plastic is produced every year. Half of all plastic produced is single-use – meaning it’s thrown away after just one use. Since only 9% of all plastic gets recycled\, most of it ends up littering our communities\, filling our landfills\, and polluting our oceans. \nInternational Plastic Free Day creates awareness of just how much plastic we use every day\, and how we can use less of it. Consider all the ways single-use plastic is used in our daily lives: \n\nBeverage bottles\nCleaning products in plastic jugs\nTo-go containers\nFood packaging\nCups\, straws\, lids\nStorage bags\nProduct packaging\n\nParticipation is simple: Say “No” to single-use plastics for one day. Don’t buy it\, refuse it\, don’t use it. The day also encourages learning how to swap sustainable products for single-use plastics. For example\, swap: \n\nSingle-use straws with reusable bamboo straws.\nReusable tumbler for drinking both hot and cold beverages.\nReusable cloth bags for shopping.\nSilicone bags for sandwiches and snacks.\nCompostable garbage bags.\n\nHOW TO OBSERVE INTERNATIONAL PLASTICS FREE DAY\nBefore May 25th\, take the plastic-free challenge and commit to using no single-use plastics all day long. Every time you do\, one less piece of plastic will be added to the environment. During International Plastic Free Day you can also: \n\nStart a conversation about single-use plastic and its impact on the Earth.\nLearn how plastic waste impacts our environment.\nDiscover one permanent change you can make to create less plastic waste.\nVisit Free the Ocean for more ways to reduce plastic waste.\n\nWhen you participate\, be sure to use #InternationalPlasticFeeDay and share on social media to help raise awareness. \nSource Link

SUMMARY:National Wine Day
DESCRIPTION:On May 25th each year\, wine lovers everywhere pour a glass of their favorite wine to celebrate National Wine Day.  Whether it is Red or White\, the sound of glassing “clinking” will be heard around the world today. \n#NationalWineDay\nMade from fermented grapes or other fruits\, wine is an alcoholic beverage. During the fermentation processes\, yeast consumes the sugars in the grapes converting it into alcohol.  Different grapes produce different wines.  Winemakers will combine different wines to create more complex flavors.  Wines made from fruit or honey are often named according to the variety of fruit used. \nRed wine varietals produce deep ruby reds as well as subtle ambers and browns. Their beautiful colors hint at the coming change in the season. With that\, we can look for delicious menu changes\, too. Besides\, what better way to enjoy a great bottle of wine than by pairing it with excellent company and food. \nWinemakers produce white wines from grapes with light yellow-green skins or light red skins. However\, it’s not the color of the grapes that give the wine its color. It’s the tannins in the grape skins that color wine red and also the flavor. White wines are generally sweeter than red wines and are best served chilled. Most red wines are served at room temperature. However\, a sweet red should also be chilled for the best flavor. \nHOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL WINE DAY\nReminisce with family and friends over a glass of wine.  Enjoy wine with a favorite meal.  And just a little tip\, in a couple of days we celebrate National Coq Au Vin Day which includes red wine as an ingredient. Pick up an extra bottle to prepare. Post photos using #NationalWineDay on social media. \nIf you’re looking for more wine days to celebrate Check out these 9 Wine Celebrations. \nGet your National Wine Day socks here! \nNATIONAL WINE DAY HISTORY\nNational Day Calendar continues researching the origins of this fermenting holiday. However\, if you’re looking for other juicy holidays\, check these out: \n\nBubbly Day\nProsecco Day\nRed Wine Day\nOrange Wine Day\nDrink Local Wine Week\nMimosa Day\nMoscato Day\n\nSource Link

Millions of Americans hit the road each year over the long weekend to visit friends and family\, while paying tribute to our American heroes. \nOFFICIAL DESTINATION FOR NATIONAL ROAD TRIP DAY 2023\n\nNational Day Calendar is excited to announce Pontiac\, IL\, as the Official Destination for National Road Trip Day 2023. This year\, National Road Trip Day is celebrated on Friday\, May 26. Read more… \n#NATIONALROADTRIPDAY\nAmericans are anxious to hit the road to kick off the summer road trip season. A recent surveys suggest an overwhelming majority prefer driving as the leading choice for reaching their summer destinations. According to The Vacationer\, 80 percent of Americans are going to take a road trip this summer. In fact\, most are making plans for Memorial Day weekend and plan on traveling by car. \nWhether you’re seeking adventure\, visiting family and friends\, or making a business connection\, road trips are often a rite of passage. National Road Trip day is about making this vacation season all about the journey to the destination. \nGetting There\nRoad trips that begin and end with happy passengers are always the best. Here are a few tips to keep in mind. \n\nPlan ahead. Even a spur of the moment trip requires planning.\n\nTwo in five\, or 42 percent of road trippers find travel apps very helpful when planning their trip. Mapping out your stops ahead of time can be a great way to save both time and money.\nThe Pilot Flying J’s   myRewards PlusTM app allows travelers to tailor their trip routes. In addition\, the app helps travelers save on the go by showcasing specific amenities\, fuel prices and more.\n\n\nVehicle maintenance is vital to any successful road trip. Beyond the routine maintenance\, such as oil changes and sound tires\, other simple checks will keep you on the road.\n\nCheck your wipers and wiper fluid.\nMake sure your spare tire and jack are in place.\nEnsure all lights and signals are working.\nLook at the condition of your brake pads.\nVerify your car registration is current or not about to expire.\n\n\nPlot your course. Consider construction\, fuel and snack stops\, shopping\, and the interests of the other travelers.\n\nPrioritize your road trip for convenience and efficiency. About 58 percent of travelers want to stop at all-in-one rest stops that offer gas\, food\, drinks\, coffee\, bathrooms\, and more.\nGrab your “road trip essential” snacks. These can include chips and salty foods\, freshly made or grab-and-go foods\, and fast food options.\n\n\n\nHow do you travel?\nThere are two kinds of people who take road trips. \n\nThe tourist takes their time getting there and taking the scenic routes.\nThe pilot enjoys seeing the country from the car\, sets a course\, and frowns upon unscheduled stops or side trips. If you’re going together\, you might want to discuss a compromise before hitting the road!\n\nNo matter the destination\, road trips include an element of expectation and rarely disappoint. The best road trips bring us closer to people over a stick of beef jerky and car karaoke. They connect us to places through memories\, a postcard\, and the kindness of strangers. \nHITTING THE ROAD\nIt is that time of year where families and friends prepare for National Road Trip Day by hitting the road and discovering exciting new destinations. Let the Summer times roll! \nSource Link

SUMMARY:National Game Show Day
DESCRIPTION:Today is June 1 and National Game Show Day on the National Day Calendar and we are celebrating all timeless game shows\, past and present. National Game Show Day honors one of the oldest and most cherished genres of TV. \n#NATIONALGAMESHOWDAY\nGame Shows are watched by millions of Americans every single day and are a staple in most American homes. Viewers can engage by cheering contestants on and playing along from home. National Game Show Day honors vintage and current game shows\, their hosts\, and the fans of yesterday and today. \nGame shows are a specific genre of television where contestants compete\, answer questions\, or solve puzzles to win prizes. Prizes consist of cash\, trips\, and some of the most popular consumer products\, including electronics\, cars\, and appliances. \nThe first TV game show in the U.S. was Truth or Consequences\, which began in 1940 and was hosted by Ralph Edwards. The show consisted of contestants being asked to answer trivia questions correctly or face the consequences by performing a zany stunt. \nPick-A-Number\nOn National Game Show Day\, we thought it would be fun to find the most popular game shows of all time. Our top 8 answers are on the board: \n\nTo Tell the Truth (1956 – 1978; 1980 – 1981; 2000 – 2002; 2016 – Present)\nMatch Game (1962 – 1969; 1973 – 1982; ; 2016 – 2021)\nJeopardy! (1964 – 75; 1984 – Present)\nThe Price is Right (1972 – Present)\nWheel of Fortune (1975 – Present)\nThe Gong Show (1976 – 1978)\nFamily Feud (1976 – 1985\, 1988 – 1995; 1999 – Present)\nHollywood Squares (1966 – 1981)\n\nWhat is the longest running game show on television? The Price is Right originally aired on TV in 1956\, with Bill Cullen as the host. In 1972\, the show reintroduced a new host. Bob Barker became the face of The Price is Right and served as host for 35 years\, with Drew Carey taking over the reins in 2007. The Price is Right is the longest running game show in television history\, with Carey continuing as host today. \nCan I view vintage game shows? Yes!

SUMMARY:Say Something Nice Day
DESCRIPTION:On National Say Something Nice Day we have an opportunity to make June 1st extra pleasant for everyone. \n#SaySomethingNiceDay\nThe purpose of this holiday is to counteract bullying and the lack of civility and common courtesy that is growing among people in today’s world. Hopefully\, the practice of saying something nice today will continue into all tomorrows. \nWhen we were young\, many of us often heard\, “If you can’t say something nice\, don’t say anything at all.” One of the many reasons our parents taught us that is because once we say those words\, we can’t take them back\, no matter how true we think they might be. We all know someone whose true nature is kinder than most. Perhaps we even wish we could emulate them more than we do. \n\n\n\nDo they pay compliments or do they follow this old saying? Perhaps a little of both. But there are a few other lessons we can learn from generally nice people. It’s more than saying nice things to others. They genuinely listen to others and tend to put others first. When they pay a compliment\, it isn’t usually practiced. Their sincerity is felt by the receiver. \nHOW TO OBSERVE SAY SOMETHING NICE DAY\nThink about the nicest person you know. Take a cue from them and put one of their better qualities into practice. Say something nice to or about someone. Bring a smile to someone’s face for the sheer joy of seeing them smile. Seek no reward other than knowing that someone’s day is better because a nice word was said. \nSource Link

SUMMARY:National Pen Pay Day
DESCRIPTION:Observed each year on June 1st\, National Pen Pal Day is a way to let your pen pals know how much they mean to you. The day is the perfect time to send special letters and gifts to your pen pals. \n#NationalPenPalDay\nA pen pal is someone with whom you correspond by writing letters\, sharing personal events and many times have never even met. There are many benefits to having pen pals\, too. \n\nPen pals offer us a broader view of the world.\nWe improve our writing skills.\nWriting letters also give us a break from technology.\nIf your pen pal speaks another language\, your correspondence expands each other’s language.\nHaving a pen pal promotes delayed gratification. Once we write a letter\, we have to wait to hear back from our pen pal.\n\nGenerations of letter writers have enjoyed having pen pals in their life. Some have been famous and others have created life-long friendships that began in childhood. \nHOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL PEN PAL DAY\nWhile discovering a new pen pal these days might seem daunting but we found two websites that might help you along. Check out Postcrossing and Worldwide Snail Mail Pen Pals on Facebook if you’re looking for a pen pal. Share your memories of having a pen pal or your experiences with one now. Someone you meet in your travels can always become a pen pal\, too. Use #NationalPenPalDay to post on social media. \nSource Link

SUMMARY:National Doughnut Day
DESCRIPTION:Each year on the first Friday in June\, people participate in National Doughnut or Donut Day\, celebrating the doughnut and honoring the Salvation Army Lassies. The Salvation Army Lassies are the women who served doughnuts to soldiers during WWI. \n#NationalDoughnutDay \nIn 1917\, the original “Salvation Army Doughnut” was first served by the ladies of the Salvation Army. It was during WWI that the Salvation Army Lassies went to the front lines of Europe. Home-cooked foods\, provided by these brave volunteers\, were a morale boost to the troops. \nThe doughnuts were often cooked in oil inside the metal helmets of American soldiers. American infantrymen were then commonly called “doughboys.” A more standard spelling of the word is “donut.” \nOn this day\, many bakeries and coffee shops in the United States offer doughnut deals to their customers. \nHOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL DOUGHNUT DAY \nCelebrate the day by enjoying your favorite doughnut. There are many varieties of doughnuts to choose from\, too! Whether you prefer glazed or creme-filled\, holes\, or any number of deliciously made doughnuts\, get out there and support your local bakeries. Pick up a dozen to deliver to first responders\, a nursing station\, or your favorite charity. Use #NationalDonutDay or #NationalDoughnutDay when using social media. \nSource Link

SUMMARY:D Day
DESCRIPTION:D-Day is June 6 on the National Day Calendar and we are honoring those who fought on the beaches of Normandy\, France. This historical day is a reminder of the day troops of Allied forces staged one of the most pivotal attacks against Germany during World War II. \n#DDay\nThe Battle of Normandy was executed under the codename Operation Overlord and became known as the beginning of the end of World War II. The Battle of Normandy was along a 50 mile stretch of beaches\, including Utah and Omaha Beach. While many explanations exist for the name\, one reason may be due to the military countdown. The countdown designated the day and hour of the assault. D represented Day and H represented Hour in the military. \nThe battle liberated Northern France. Britain\, the United States\, and Canada sent more than 160\,000 Allied troops under the leadership of General Dwight Eisenhower. The troops manned more than 5\,000 ships and 13\,000 aircraft the day of the initial landing. The invasion is considered one of the largest amphibious military assaults in history. An amphibious military operation requires the use of naval ships to project ground and air power at a designated landing beach. Due to the sheer numbers of troops\, ships\, and aircraft involved\, Operation Overlord required extensive planning. \nMessage to the troops of Normandy: “You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade\, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you.” \nDwight Eisenhower\, Supreme Allied Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force\, 1944 \n6 Interesting D-Day Facts\n\nAbout 150\,000 Allied troops successfully carried out their mission to storm the beaches of Normandy. Unfortunately\, nearly 10\,000 lives were lost on that day.\nThe Normandy invasion a vital turn in the war began to turn the tide in the war against the Nazis and was a huge blow to Hitler.\nThe Normandy Invasion is one of the most significant events of WWII.\nAllied forces consisted of troops from Australia\, Belgium\, Netherlands\, France\, Greece\, New Zealand\, Norway\, and Poland.\nOver 18\,000 Allied paratroopers were dropped into the invasion area.\nA few months before D-Day\, General Eisenhower threatened to quit due to being at odds with Winston Churchill over a controversial plan.\n\nHOW TO OBSERVE D-Day\nOn June 6th\, World War II museums\, memorials\, and ceremonies honor the Allied forces who landed along the 50 mile stretch of beaches in 1944. \n\nLearn more about the Battle of Normandy by exploring World War II museums.\nVisit the National D-Day Memorial to attend the D-Day Commemoration at the WWII Memorial.\nFly the American flag.\nVisit with a combat veteran and learn about their experiences.\nWatch Band of Brothers\, which is a true story of U.S. Army’s Easy Company\, 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division.\nRead books about the Battle of Normandy or listen to a podcast such as:\n\nD-Day Girls: The Spies Who Armed the Resistance\, Sabotaged the Nazis\, and Helped Win World War II by Sarah Rose.\nThe Longest Day by Cornelius Ryan.\nNormandy ’44: D-Day and the Battle for France by James Holland.\nPegasus Bridge by Stephen E.

SUMMARY:World Caring Day
DESCRIPTION:Each year on June 7\, World Caring Day shines a spotlight on all the ways we connect and show each other we care. Afterall\, we should always take time to celebrate the millions of acts of caring we see. All acts of caring\, whether big or small\, are important. Caring is continuous and happens every day through compassion\, support\, kindness and understanding. \n#WorldCaringDay\nIn a world of many worries\, one of the easiest ways to show love is by caring. We all experience times of crisis\, illness or need. Sharing our journeys and becoming a part of a beautiful story in a segmented\, cynical world recognizes and celebrates the people who care. When we take the time to notice\, we see patience\, understanding\, kindness and encouragement from everyone around us. \nUse World Caring Day to remind others to take the opportunity and practice caring. Now more than ever\, we need to lean into caring for one another. Using this day as an opportunity to share your compassion shows genuine love and is a blessing. By sincerely asking how someone’s day went\, it shows that you care\, and can improve that person’s overall well-being. \nCaring Around the World\nCelebrating everyone as they share stories of caring recognizes and honors both those who care\, and those who are cared for. On June 7th\, we encourage everyone to rededicate themselves to recognizing\, sharing and participating in acts of caring by: \n\nAsking how someone is doing with intent and meaning. Asking someone how they are to find out what is going on in their lives shows you care.\nBeing mindful of the needs of others. Being alert and sensitive to what triggers your loved ones can help them navigate the shifts in their mood.\nReconnecting online to catch up with your friends and family living far away or with those you haven’t spoken to in a long time reopens relationships.\nMaking time for your loved ones. We know everyone gets busy but don’t become a stranger to your friends and family.\nWriting a note. You’ll be surprised by how big of an impact little notes of encouragement can have on the mood and well-being of others.\nSharing your story! Head over to www.worldcaringday.org and share your story of caring for a loved one through a challenging health journey. You can also read stories of others to feel inspired.\nJoining the conversation by spreading the word. Sharing acts of kindness will boost the World Caring Day\, especially when you use #WorldCaringDay on social media.\n\nSource Link

SUMMARY:National Smile Power Day
DESCRIPTION:On June 15th each year\, National Smile Power Day shares one powerful expression. \n#SmilePowerDay\nFrom the good morning greeting and the first “How may I help you?” present yourself with a smile. No matter where you are employed\, job seeking\, retired\, or looking for new horizons starting the day with a smile is certainly more empowering than a pout or grump. Starting with a smile first is easier than trying to get there later in the day. \nWhen you smile at someone\, you are telling them that they are valued and worth the smile that you just gave them. Smiles are morale boosters and confidence builders. \nResearch has proven that smiling really does increase attractiveness and likability among humans. Smiling creates greater trust and increased interpersonal cooperation. Smiling at someone can help them to relax and relieve their stress while at the same time\, it will make you feel at ease\, too. Even if you do not feel like it\, smiling will lift your mood and can make you a happier person. \nHOW TO OBSERVE SMILE POWER DAY\nChallenge yourself to smile more often today. Use a smile to disarm a tense situation\, or simply smile during your daily tasks. Are you having trouble smiling? \nTips to Help You Smile\n\nThink of a few happy moments that automatically generate a smile for you. You know\, those moments where you belly laughed until your stomach hurts or a time when you were so pleased with yourself your face hurt from smiling. Keep those memories handy and use them to help you smile more often.\nSave a couple of short jokes that are just so silly you can’t help but smile. Tell them to others\, too. The best ones are simple children’s jokes or riddles that play on words.\nLearn Spoonerisms. This fun way of swapping letters in two words in a phrase to make new words make people stop and think. And then they smile and so will you! An example of a Spoonerism is instead of ordering peas and carrots at a restaurant you say\, “I’ll have the keys and parrots.”\nMake a list of the things you’re grateful for. Which ones make you smile? Keep the list handy and refer to it often. Add to it and feel your smiles add up.\n\nUse #SmilePowerDay on social media. \nSource Link

SUMMARY:Fathers Day
DESCRIPTION:On the third Sunday in June\, Father’s Day honors the role fathers play in the family structure and society. The day recognizes not just fathers\, but the father figures in our lives. These are the men we look up to who set solid examples for us and guide us throughout our lives. \n#FathersDay\nMany families dedicate the day to their fathers and grandfathers. Whether they are first-time fathers just learning to change a diaper\, or experienced fathers offering sage advice\, the day celebrates everything a father is. Fathers from family to family play a variety of roles. They may be a caregiver\, provider\, or advisor. Some fathers are the strong\, silent types. And yet others tell us stories for days. Fathers teach\, guiding small hands as they hammer a nail or sail a kite. \nWe only look up to our fathers for so long. At some point\, we begin to see things a little differently. But that’s not when we stop looking up to them. It’s at that point\, we turn and look forward together. \nSTN Inspirational Quotes To Keep You Inspired in 2021

SUMMARY:National PTSD Awareness Day
DESCRIPTION:NATIONAL PTSD AWARENESS DAY | JUNE 27\nEach year on June 27th\, National PTSD Awareness Day recognizes the effects post-traumatic stress has on the lives of those impacted by it. \n#NationalPTSDAwarenessDay\nPost Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) has a profound effect on the lives of those who suffer from it. The statistics alone are staggering\, but can only tell a portion of the story. The trauma and anxiety associated with PTSD is a constant burden\, inseparable from the sufferer. It was once a condition that was attributed only to returning combat veterans\, but more and more the condition is diagnosed in those who have experienced violent crime or lived through catastrophic events. According to PTSD United\, 20% of adults in the United States who have experienced a traumatic event suffer from PTSD. \nThe observance not only strives to bring awareness to the public but to also educate and eliminate the stigma associated with PTSD. Many of those with PTSD don’t seek treatment. Sometimes they simply fear the labels attached to PTSD. However\, with support and understanding\, we may all better understand the signs and provide better care. \n\nTrouble sleeping\nReliving memories of the event\nAnxious or on edge\nAvoidance of things or people who remind you of the event\n\nOver time\, these signs may fade. However\, if they don’t\, seeking treatment is not only suggested but helpful to many who suffer from PTSD. \nHOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL PTSD AWARENESS DAY\nReach out to someone you know who struggles with PTSD. Let them know you care and are there to help. Learn more about PTSD at NIMH or VA.gov. Use #NationalPTSDAwarenessDay to share on social media. \nNATIONAL PTSD AWARENESS DAY HISTORY\nThe United States Senate established PTSD Awareness Day in 2010 following then-Sen. Kent Conrad’s efforts to designate a day of awareness as a tribute to Army Staff Sgt. Joe Biel of the North Dakota National Guard. Biel suffered from PTSD and took his life in April 2007 after returning to North Dakota following his second tour of duty in the Iraq War. \nBiel’s birthday\, June 27th\, was chosen to mark PTSD Awareness Day and honor his memory. \nSource: National Day Calendar

SUMMARY:Independence Day (USA)
DESCRIPTION:INDEPENDENCE DAY\nEach year on July 4th\, the United States celebrates Independence Day. This federal holiday commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4\, 1776\, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain.  \nFor nearly 250 years\, the country has been celebrating a day in history that inspires us still today. On July 4th\, communities host speeches and ceremonies across the nation. Across the country\, people crowd cities for parades and festivals. Cities deck the streets in red\, white\, and blue bunting and flags. \nFamilies and friends also gather for some of the most mouthwatering food – large picnics and barbecues\, local fairs provide a taste of culture and mom’s home cooking\, too. With so many converging on their hometowns\, family and school reunions take place. \nFire Works\nBefore the day is over\, many communities hold spectacular fireworks displays re-enacting moments of victory. Patriotic music accompanies the performance while spectators view the show from blankets strewn along capital lawns or from boats floating in bays. Whether our National Anthem\, “The Star-Spangled Banner” or “God Bless America\,” many will sing along. In some locations\, music will be played by a live orchestra or band\, while in other areas it’s pre-recorded. Some of the most popular on the playlist are “America the Beautiful\,” “My Country\, Tis of Thee\,” “This Land Is Your Land\,” “Stars and Stripes Forever\,” “God Bless the U.S.A.\,” “Yankee Doodle” and “Dixie.” \nIn some parts of the country\, people will shoot their own fireworks while children delight in the bright colors and sparklers. They roast marshmallows and make s’ mores. \nHOW TO OBSERVE #IndependenceDay #July4th #4thOfJuly #FourthOfJuly\nSpend the day celebrating independence. Attend local events or travel the nation to see friends and relatives. \n\nAt noon\, a “Salute to the Union” is fired\, each July 4th\, by any capable military base. This is a salute of one gun for each state in the United States. \nIn 2009\, New York City hosted the largest fireworks display in the country. \nHeld since 1785\, the Bristol Fourth of July Parade in Bristol\, Rhode Island\, is the oldest continuous Independence Day celebration in the United States. \n\nShare your celebrations using #IndependenceDay\, #July4th\, #4thOfJuly\, FourthOfJuly on social media.

SUMMARY:National Sister Day
DESCRIPTION:National Sisters Day on the first Sunday in August celebrates the unique bond between sisters. This particular set of siblings embrace moments that make them laugh and cringe. While they don’t always agree\, sisters have each other’s backs. \n#NationalSistersDay\nAll siblings have the odd argument here and there\, but deep down there’s little way around the natural connection between siblings. Even those who don’t have a natural sister sibling know the bonds of sisterhood. Those who forge a relationship with their spouse’s sisters understand. Also\, women who support each other through difficult times form a sisterhood. \nCelebrating National Sister Day on this Sunday \n \nA sister is like yourself in a different movie\,\na movie that stars you in a different life. ~ Deborah Tannen \nNo two sisters are alike. From love interests to cars\, sisters will disagree. And food\, cleaning\, and children require interventions. However\, we rely on each other while privately envying a sister’s style\, ability or grace. A sister understands when no one else does\, sometimes when even you don’t. So\, sister time provides vital healing. \nWhether your sisters harrassed you from day one or found you later in life\, this day brings you back together. Cherish the memories and make plans to create new ones. Reconnect or patch up any misunderstandings. Sisters are forever.

SUMMARY:International Left Handers Day
DESCRIPTION:International Left Handers Day on August 13th recognizes all those individuals who have mastered using their left hand in a right-handed world. We take our hats off to you – left-handed! \n#LeftHandersDay\nApproximately 10% of the population are southpaws. Scientists don’t know why a person develops left-handedness. But it’s more likely a child will be left-handed if one parent is a lefty\, too. Parents of left-handed children used to force them to use their right hands. In the eyes of right-handers\, the predominant use of the left hand seemed evil. Parents feared their communities would shun their children. While we accept left-handedness more readily than days gone by\, its occurrence hasn’t increased. \nFamous Cartoonist Joe Wos\, founder of mazetoons\, states that his favorite day to celebrate is International Left Handers Day\, being a lefty himself. \nCelebrating International Left Handers Day this August\nFamous Lefties\nMany lefties seek to blend in because they will stand out soon enough. Their unique quality makes them feel awkward. They bump elbows or seem like a klutz. However\, in a world designed for the right-handed\, those who are other dominant adapt quite well. For example\, eight United States presidents were left-handed\, including Ronald Reagan\, George H.W. Bush\, Bill Clinton\, and Barack Obama. Would the Sistine Chapel and the Mona Lisa stand the test of time if Michaelangelo and Leonardo de Vinci had been right-handed? \nUncommon Individual\nLeft Handers Day recognizes the uncommon individual who throws\, catches\, writes\, and uses a fork with their left hand. They view the world just a little differently\, too. At a restaurant\, they seek out the seat that will place their dominant elbow on the outside of the booth. Right-handed athletes groan a bit when the southpaw shows up as an opponent on the roster. They present a challenge right-handers aren’t always sure how to handle due to lack of practice. And yet\, lefties square off against righties all the time. \n\nDon’t be shy on Left-Handers Day. Show the world how brilliant and unique you are!

SUMMARY:National Milk Day
DESCRIPTION:National Milk Day on January 11th commemorates the day many think the first milk deliveries in glass bottles began in the United States. Alexander Campbell of the New York Dairy Company professed to the New York State Senate that his company was the first to make these deliveries in 1878. \n\n\n \n#NationalMilkDay \nThe United States and Australia export more milk and milk products than any other country. Those products include cheese\, yogurt\, ice cream\, butter\, cream\, powdered milk\, and much more. Throughout the world\, more than 6 billion people consume milk and the products we make from it. One of the reasons is because milk provides nutrients such as calcium\, potassium\, vitamin B12\, and vitamin A. \nProduction History\nDuring the Middle Ages\, people called milk the virtuous white liquor because alcoholic beverages were more reliable than water. In 1863\, French chemist and biologist Louis Pasteur made it possible for milk and other food and drinks to be stored for more extended periods. He developed a method of killing harmful bacteria that is now called pasteurization. \nIn 1884\, an American doctor\, Hervey Thatcher of New York City\, developed the first modern glass milk bottle. He called it the “Thatcher’s Common Sense Milk Jar.” He used a waxed paper disk to seal the milk in the glass bottle. Later\, in 1932\, plastic-coated paper milk cartons were introduced commercially as a consequence of their invention by Victor W. Farris. \nModern industrial processes use milk to produce casein\, whey protein\, lactose\, condensed milk\, powdered milk\, and many other food-additive and industrial products. \nAnimals\nThe females of all mammal species can\, by definition\, produce milk. However\, cow milk dominates commercial production. In 2011. FAO estimates cows produced 85% of all milk worldwide. Apart from cattle\, many kinds of livestock contribute milk used by humans for dairy products. These animals include buffalo\, goat\, sheep\, camel\, donkey\, horse\, reindeer\, and yak. Like cattle\, their milk produces cream\, butter\, yogurt\, kefir\, ice cream\, and cheese\, too. \n\n\n \nHOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL MILK DAY\nThe ultimate way to celebrate is with a large glass of milk. However\, a serving of anything made with milk would count\, too! Does a milkshake sound good to you? We’ve gathered up some other ways to celebrate\, too! \n\nMake your own cheese\nAdd chocolate\, strawberry\, and malted flavorings to your milk. Then blindfold the kids and have a milk tasting!\nInvite a friend for homemade hot chocolate\nWhile drinking your milk\, learn more about the nutrients in milk\n\nUse #NationalMilkDay to post on social media. \nSource Link.

SUMMARY:National Pharmacist Day
DESCRIPTION:National Pharmacist Day on January 12th annually recognizes and honors all pharmacists across the nation. \nCelebrating Teacher Appreciation Week on Spanning the Need w/Anthony Spano(Opens in a new browser tab) \n\n\n\n#NationalPharmacistDay\n\n\n\nThe role of pharmacists has shifted over the years. Where once they served as the classical “lick\, stick and pour” dispensary\, they now serve as an integrated member of the health care team. Pharmacists are often directly involved in patient care and play a vital role in a patient’s recovery. \nHistorically\, pharmacists primarily checked and distributed drugs to doctors for patient prescribed medication. In modern times\, pharmacists advise patients and health care providers on the selection\, dosages\, interactions\, and side effects of prescriptions. Additionally\, their role includes being a learned intermediary between a prescriber and a patient. By monitoring the health and progress of patients\, pharmacists can then ensure the safe and effective use of medication. \nPharmacists work long hours\, usually standing the entire time. Along with dispensing pills and providing advice on medications\, pharmacists also administer immunizations. Pharmacists who conduct research discover and test new medications\, too. \n\nDo you wonder how Agatha Christie came to know so much about poisons for her murder mysteries? She was once a pharmacy dispenser during World War I.\nCoca-Cola\, Pepsi\, Dr. Pepper\, and Ginger Ale were all invented by pharmacists\nBefore running for President of the United States\, Hubert Humphrey earned his pharmacy license and worked in his father’s pharmacy.\nWilliam Procter\, Jr.\, (May 3\, 1817 – February 10\, 1874) dedicated his career to the science of pharmacy. He wrote the first textbook on pharmacy for students in the United States and advocated for the founding of the American Pharmaceutical Association. His dedication earned him the name Father of Pharmacy.\n\nSpanning the Need’s Christmas Concert Special (TV Broadcast)(Opens in a new browser tab) \nHOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL PHARMACIST DAY\nAnyone who has required the services of a pharmacist\, take time to thank them today. Give them a shout-out. Whether they work in a facility or local pharmacy\, they will appreciate the good word. If you’re considering a career\, learn more about pharmacy. Use #NationalPharmacistDay to post on social media. \nNATIONAL PHARMACIST DAY HISTORY\nWhile we were unable to find the exact creator of this observance\, it is indicated that it is likely an association of pharmaceutical groups that are founders. \nSource Link.

SUMMARY:National Sticker Day
DESCRIPTION:National Sticker Day on January 13th recognizes all the ways stickers brighten up a page or send a special message. The day celebrates all things stickers\, from the custom printing of them to sharing stickers. Every sticker has a story. \n\n\n \n\n\n\n#NationalStickerDay\n\n\n\nHistorians credit the European merchants in the 1880s as the first to stick labels to their products\, in an effort to promote their goods and wares to passersby. \nThese savvy\, pre-industrial entrepreneurs used a gum paste to get the labels to adhere and\, well\, stick: hence “stickers.” By the 1900s a sticker-specific paste had been developed and was widely used\, most notably on stamps\, which dried and then would re-apply when moistened. \nThe observance is in honor of R. Stanton Avery\, who was born on that day in 1907. Avery was the original creator of the adhesive label with removable backing. \n\n\n \nHOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL STICKER DAY\nNational Sticker Day offers so many ways to celebrate! We won’t limit it to any age group either\, so be sure to invite everyone to the party. That means everyone deserves a sticker whether they are shopping online\, promoting their business\, or learning something new.

SUMMARY:National Rubber Ducky Day
DESCRIPTION:According to a 1973 Sesame Street calendar\, Rubber Duckie’s Birthday is January 13th so around the country it’s National Rubber Ducky Day! A friend of Ernie and Big Bird\, Duckie made his debut in a February 1970 episode. \n\n\n \n#NationalRubberDuckyDay\nThe rubber ducky (also spelled duckie) has come a long way from his first concept as a chew toy for children. While the origin of the first rubber ducky is uncertain\, many rubber molded toys came about when rubber manufacturing developed in the late 1800s. They produced a variety of toys from dolls and various animal shapes\, including the rubber duck. \nIn 1928\, Landon Smart Lawrence received the earliest patent for a rubber duck toy. His clever design weighted the toy so that when it tipped it returned to an upright position. The sketch included with the patent was that of a duck. \nDuring World Wars I and II\, rubber was a valuable commodity. Rationing became mandatory and by the 1940s with the advent of plastic\, the rubber ducky began being produced in vinyl and plastic. Russian Sculptor Peter Ganine sculpted many animal figures. One\, a duck\, he later designed and patented into a floating toy that closely resembles the rubber ducky we have become familiar with today. \nSales of the iconic yellow rubber ducky we’ve come to know today soared in Britain in 2001. Why? A British Tabloid\, The Sun\, reported Queen Elizabeth II had a rubber duck in her bathroom that wore an inflatable crown. \nThe rubber ducky became a Toy Hall of Fame inductee in 2013. Founded in 1998\, the Hall of Fame has only inducted 52 other toys. \n\n\n \nHOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL RUBBER DUCKY DAY\nSpend time with your favorite rubber ducky. Share photos of your rubber ducky collection. Discover all the different kinds of rubber duckies available. Use #NationalRubberDuckyDay to post on social media. \nNATIONAL RUBBER DUCKY DAY HISTORY\nWhile our research did not uncover the creator of National Rubber Ducky Day\, National Day Calendar® is pretty fond of the idea that it has to do with Sesame Street’s Rubber Duckie. \nSource Link:

SUMMARY:National Hot Pastrami Sandwich Day
DESCRIPTION:Pastrami lovers across the country look forward to their favorite sandwich on January 14th as they recognize National Hot Pastrami Sandwich Day. \n\n\n \n\n\n\n#HotPastramiSandwichDay\n\n\n\nPopular delicatessen meat\, pastrami is usually made from beef. Others make their pastrami sandwich with pork\, mutton\, or turkey. Before refrigeration\, butchers originally created pastrami as a way to preserve meat. To make pastrami\, they placed the raw meat in brine. Then they partially dried it and seasoned it with various herbs and spices to be smoked and steamed. \nA wave of Romanian Jewish immigration introduced pastrami (pronounced pastróme)\, a Romanian specialty\, in the second half of the 19th century. Early English references used the spelling “pastrama” before the modified “pastrami” spelling was used. \nNew York kosher butcher\, Sussman Volk earns credit for producing the first pastrami sandwich in 1887. He claimed to have gotten the recipe from a Romanian friend in exchange for storing his luggage. Due to the popularity of his sandwich\, Volk converted his butcher shop into a restaurant to sell pastrami sandwiches. \n\n\n \nClassic Pastrami\n\nWhen served\, the deli typically slices the pastrami and places it between two slices of rye bread. Sometimes\, the classic New York deli sandwich (pastrami on rye) is served with coleslaw and Russian dressing.\nWhen pastrami and coleslaw combine\, it’s called a Rachel sandwich. Similar to a Reuben which is made with corned beef and sauerkraut.\nIn Los Angeles\, they serve the classic pastrami sandwich with hot pastrami right out of the steamer. They slice it very thin and wet from the brine then layered on double-baked Jewish-style rye bread. It is traditionally accompanied by yellow mustard and pickles.\nIn Salt Lake City\, in the early 1960s\, Greek immigrants introduced a hamburger topped with pastrami and a special sauce. This pastrami burger remains a staple of local burger chains in Utah.\n\n\n\n \nHOW TO OBSERVE HOT PASTRAMI SANDWICH DAY\nServe up your favorite pastrami sandwich. What toppings will you add? Try making several versions. Here are some other suggestions for celebrating: \n\nAdd sliced green apples and sharp cheddar cheese to your sandwich.\nInvite friends to build their own sandwiches.\nGive a shout-out to your favorite restaurant and deli with the best pastrami sandwich.\nWhile you’re at it\, what’s the best beverage to wash down a hot pastrami sandwich?\nAre you a master sandwich maker? Share your sandwich stacking tips.\nWhen it comes to the bread only the best will do. Pastrami and rye are classic. What other bread makes terrific pastrami sandwiches?\nMix up a variety of spreads. Make them hot\, spicy\, sweet\, sour\, or creamy\, and find out which one compliments pastrami best.\nRead the Pastrami on Rye: An Overstuffed History of the Jewish Deli by Ted Merwin while munching on your creation.\nWatch a food show while enjoying your delicious pastrami sandwich.\n\nTry this Hot Pastrami Sandwich recipe. \nUse #HotPastramiSandwichDay to post on social media. \nSource Link
