National Peanut Butter And Jelly Day celebrates the most popular sandwich in America! It doesnt matter whether you like grape, strawberry, orange marmalade, blackberry, or any other form of jelly, the best compliment to them is the amazing and delectable peanut butter! Peanut Butter and Jelly has become such a popular taste sensation that it can be found in hundreds of different derivations. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/peanut-butter-and-jelly-day/International Childrens Book Day Falling on Hans Christian Andersons birthday, Childrens Book Day celebrates childrens books and encourages children to read. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/childrens-book-day/
National Ferret Day The ferret is a much maligned and misunderstood animal, widely believed to be a smelly, quarrelsome, amoral, biting beast. All you have to do is take a quick look at some of the most popular childrens stories like Wind in the Willows to observe this phenomenon. However,this stereotype couldnt be further from the truth. Ferrets are often kept as working animals due to their agility and intelligence, but are also known to make loyal and rewarding companions. Ferret Day promotes the true virtues of this cute, cuddly critter and furthers the welfare of ferrets everywhere. Ferret Day seeks to celebrate these remarkable and resilient creatures as well as raise awareness about the standards of welfare, nutrition and care. Ferret Day provides a focus for ferret-lovers to work together and share their passion, as well as educate the wider public about this fine, upstanding member of the weasel family. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/ferret-day/
National Love Your Produce Manager Day was initiated in 2012 to celebrate all the hard work that Produce managers put in to bringing us the best and brightest of the worlds produce straight to your storefront. Produce managers are members of a rarely seen group within a grocery stores administrative staff. They are responsible for choosing what produce their store is going to carry, and where it is going to be obtained from. The next time you are in the produce section of your grocery store, take a moment to look around and appreciate all the choices you have, and realize that someone has to keep those orders flowing, the shelves stocked, and new selections coming to you every day. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/love-your-produce-manager-day/
