National "Blank Day"

Are these still going on in 2019??


National Root Beer Float Day (August 6)
You're un-American if you don't like root beer floats...just sayin'. This August 6 if you go into any participating A&W restaurant from 2 to 8 p.m., you can get a free root beer float, no purchase necessary! If you're feeling generous, customers are encouraged to make a donation to Disabled American Veterans (DAV).


National Waffle Day (August 24)
Waffle House is clearly the superior waffle joint, so treat yourself to a free waffle and honor Leslie Knope when you sign up to be a member of the Waffle House Regulars Club.
National Coffee Day (September 29)
Free cups of coffee are abundant on this day, so be sure to hit up popular places like Dunkin' Donuts, Krispy Kreme, Tim Hortons, Wawa, Peet's Coffee & Tea and Eistein Bros. Bagels to get your caffeine fix in.

I usually hear about something on the news in the morning about what national day of recognition it is. Then If I want to participate I get the goodies

It's a day for everything and free or discounted things are always good.

National Root Beer Float Day (August 6)
You're un-American if you don't like root beer floats...just sayin'.


I do not like root beer - so that carries over to root beer floats. Does this mean I have to move to the country up north like all of those liberal celebrities did after the 2016 election?   just askin' ;)

I think National Blank Day sounds interesting. How do we celebrate it?

Is there a parade?

Should we send cards that are blank inside?

Did you know August 10 is National S'mores Day? Here's s'more ideas.
The first S’more recipe recorded can be found in a book of recipes published by a company called Campfire Marshmallows during the early 1920s.


The sweet invention is usually credited to Girl Scout Loretta Scott Crew. Her award-winning recipe entitled "Some Mores" first earned a place of honor in the Girl Scout handbook in 1927.


Usually listed as one of the top favorite campfire recipes smores are best prepared as the camp fire flames lower and the embers begin to glow:

Ingredients:
1 large marshmallow
1 graham cracker
1 chocolate candy bar

Instructions:
Place marshmallow on a stick. Heat the marshmallow over hot embers until it begins to melt. Break the graham cracker in half. Place the hot marshmallow and a piece of chocolate on one half of the graham cracker. Top with the second piece of graham cracker to form a sandwich. Let the marshmallow cool a bit before serving.

I sure missed this one!!  & & & & &

National Ampersand Day

Chaz DeSimone founded National Ampersand Day in 2015. His monthly design project, AmperArt, features “the ampersand as fun & fabulous art.”
There are over 1,500 national days. Don’t miss a single one
It's National Ampersand (&) Day!

Poll:
 How often do you use ampersands in written communication?
I almost always use an ampersand instead writing out "and" because it's fewer letters and saves time
I will sometimes use an ampersand instead of writing out the word "and"
I only use an ampersand when it's part of an official name
I never use an ampersand

I did not like root beer very much as a kid.  We had a root beer place on the corner of our street that also sold hot dogs.  I got sick once after eating a hot dog and root beer there.  I still eat hot dogs occasionally, but I haven't touched a root beer since!
