September is...

Filed in archive Holidays by Jennifer on September 05, 2008

...a month to celebrate many things.

It is National Rice, Potato and Biscuit month. It is also the month to celebrate honey, papaya and mushrooms.
September is National Cholesterol Education month and Better Breakfast month. It has also been deemed National Chicken month and National Organic Harvest month.

That's a lot to celebrate!

How are these funny holidays created? The dates are determined a couple of different ways;
The President of the United States has the authority to declare a commemorative event or day by proclamation. Fewer than 150 are granted in an average year across all categories.
Petitions are introduced by constituents, trade associations or public relations firms to honor industries, events, professions, hobbies, etc. The Senate issue commemorative resolutions which do not have the force of law. Some state legislatures and governors proclaim special observance days, as do mayors of cities, which is why there can be a National Chocolate Day and a National Chocolate Month, as well as two National Guacamole Days-authorized at different levels of government. After the observance day has been authorized, it is up to the petitioner to promote it to the public. - source The Nibble
