Events and Celebrations

NATIONAL PASTORS SPOUSES DAY seeks to support the wives and husbands of our spiritual leaders. Their relationship may endure a little extra stress under the watchful eyes of their congregations. We thank you for your commitment and dedication to keeping your spouse, family and congregation on the right path.

We give a tip of the newsboy’s cap to NEWSPAPER CARRIERS DAY. Get up early, get your papers together and make sure they get delivered on time… That’s the job, and we thank you for keeping us informed.

NATIONAL WILDLIFE DAY brings awareness to the life all around us and how precious it is. This day also coincides with the death date of Steve Irwin, the “Crocodile Hunter” and honors this conservationist who dedicated his life to the preservation of wildlife. Let’s keep working to make that endangered list smaller and smaller.

NATIONAL SPICE BLEND DAY tantalizes our senses. Garlic powder, pepper and beer are great for simmering chicken, beef or pork. Throw in some cumin, paprika, cinnamon, nutmeg or ginger to liven up you’re cooking and bring the flavor.

NATIONAL MACADAMIA NUT DAY brings us the buttery taste of these legumes that go great in recipes or are just fine by themselves. Grab a handful today.
