Drawing Day Drop everything, pick up a pencil and draw – and then share your art! Drawing Day (sometimes referred to as Pencil Day) encourages us to spread the joy of drawing, and to share our creations with the wider community. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/drawing-day/

Drive In Movie Day Drive-In Movie Day is the anniversary of the opening of the first drive-in movie theater, which occurred in Camden, New Jersey. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/drive-in-movie-day/

Yo Yo Day Yo-Yo Day is celebrated annually on the 6th June. It is no coincidence that this corresponds with the birthday of famous entrepreneur Donald Duncan Sr, who in the 1930s, got into the yo-yo business.

Yo-yos have been around 2,000 years and were known under different names such as quizzes or bandalores. Nevertheless, the origin of the yo-yo appears to stem from the Philippines and the earliest entry of the word appears in a Filipino dictionary in the early 1860s.

In the 1920s, Pedro Flores (a man with Filipino roots) began constructing yo-yos in America. He was stunned with how American youngsters and adolescents took to the toy and started mass producing the product. Yo-yos are firmly embedded into toy culture across the globe.

Therefore, celebrating this event may involve you throwing a Yo-Yo based party, whereby all those attending must bring a completely unique yo-yo. Alternatively, you could host a Yo-Yo Olympics, where designated events have specific yo-yo based prizes. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/yo-yo-day/

2. I wonder if any of the local drive-in movies are still open.

It would be a fun night out.

3. There aren't any drive-ins that I know of locally, but there are

outdoor movie nights on the green in Southern Village (area of Chapel Hill)

Tonight they are showing the 30th anniversary of Back to the Future!

I've passed one or two drive-ins between New Paltz and Albany but I can't remember the exact location.
