Tomorrow is 'National Handshake Day'. Last Thursday in June
The Hankster says [' The idea is to meet and greet someone new.
We are half way to Christmas. So tomorrow is 'LEON Day '. Leon is Noel spelled backwards.

No, the following should not be in the animal awareness section of the post.
But, tomorrow will be 'Global Beatles Day'. It's a thank you, to the ones
that sing in a band. You know, the ones that talk with an accent and drive on the wrong side of the road.
Tomorrow begins 'Watermelon Seed Spitting Week'. June 25-28.
[The Hankster says] Lots of seed spitting and watermelon eating contest. One the 'Thump' is in LULLING, TEXAS.
Perhaps you didn't make it to Main for the Windjammer Festival. Not to worry. Tomorrow is 'Day of the Seafarer'. The International Maritime Organization is promoting careers at sea.
Tomorrow is 'Color TV Day'.
[The Hankster says] The first color TV broadcast in 1951 was an important event. It would have been even better if any company sold color TV's for viewing. Yep, just a proof of concept.
Looking for a simpler life. How about starting tomorrow on 'Log Cabin Day '.
