Education and Information
SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE DAY and they will support the local businesses. This organization provides valuable resources for small businesses.
HAGFISH DAY celebrates the ugly side of the animal world. They are considered the ugliest of species but serve the purpose of keeping our ocean floors clean as they scavenge the debris of dead marine animals. They also produce a slime for protection that is stronger than nylon. The Navy is currently researching a synthetic version of this slime to be used as a protective layer for their vessels.
On Today’s Menu…
SEAFOOD BISQUE DAY brings the hot broth of strained lobster, shrimp or crab. A nice hunk of bread accompanies this dish nicely, as does a glass of your favorite wine.
