National Cinnamon Crescent Day: More
Tomorrow's food holiday will be 'National Cinnamon Crescent Day'.
[The Hankster says] Well, we just had coffee cake day. Isn't this just a coffee cake with a big smile.
Tomorrow is 'National Encourage a Young Writer Day'.
[The Hankster says] OK, I'm waiting ...... where is that encouragement. Oh, you are going to dwell on that young thing, technicality, to prevent me from writing more on this post. Well, I'm going to do it anyway. So, there!
Here is one just for you Bro's and Sis's out there. 'National Siblings Day'. By the Siblings Day Foundation. They have a campaign to make this a day like Mothers or Fathers day.
For some of you, For (or down before, or before)! Tomorrow is 'Golfer's Day'. Founding of the PGA in 1916.
[The Hankster says] The shout that warns other golfers that you refuse to be responsible for any damages for your slice, has it's origins back in the day's of old when two opposing armies would face each other in long straight lines and fire volleys of musket balls at each other. The rank in front fired their muskets. The rank behind raised their muskets to fire. An officer had the responsibility to remind the front rank, who were reloading their guns to get their heads down. So he shouted
'Down Before'. That got shortened to just 'before' and the 'fore'. The front rank would drop to their knee to reload, the second rank fired and it was repeated.
For those who appreciate such things as a shout of 'For' for safety's sake, you may also appreciate tomorrow's 'International Safety Pin Day'. In 1849 Walter Hunt's received a patent for a 'dress pin'.
[The Hankster says] He invented it to settle a $15 debt and sold the rights for a few hundred dollars. Perhaps he knew that plastic tape would replace his best market when the dress pin became the diaper pin.
Tomorrow is 'ASPCA Day'. American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. founded, Apr 10, 1866.

April is:
April origin (from Wikipedia):
'The Romans gave this month the Latin name Aprilis but the derivation of
this name is uncertain. The traditional etymology is from the verb aperire,
'to open', in allusion to its being the season when trees and flowers begin
to 'open', which is supported by comparison with the modern Greek use of
(anoixis) (opening) for spring. Since some of the Roman months were named
in honor of divinities, and as April was sacred to the goddess Venus, her
Veneralia being held on the first day, it has been suggested that
April was the second month of the earliest Roman calendar, before
Ianuarius and Februarius were added by King Numa Pompilius about 700 BC.
It became the fourth month of the calendar year (the year when twelve
months are displayed in order) during the time of the decemvirs about
450 BC, when it also was given 29 days. The 30th day was added during
the reform of the calendar undertaken by Julius Caesar in the mid-40s BC,
which produced the Julian calendar.'
April
'is commonly associated with the season of spring in parts of the
Northern Hemisphere and autumn in parts of the Southern Hemisphere,
where it is the seasonal equivalent to October in the
Northern Hemisphere and vice versa.'
