World Doll Day



~ History of WORLD DOLL DAY ~

The First World Doll Day was established on June 14th, 1986 with a letter by Mildred Seeley. It was created to spread the universal message of happiness and love.

The day is not owned by any company, club or person and no fees, permission or obligations are required.

Many have celebrated the day by giving a doll to someone--a child or adult, but freedom of expression and celebration are left up to the individual.

In the past, the day has been observed with exhibits, sales, seminars, doll shows and other doll related activities.

And

National Corn on the Cob Day



Millions of people love sweet corn on the cob. As summer nears, we can't wait to bring out the salt and pepper, and boil, steam or grill some fresh, sweet, corn on the cob.

National Corn on the Cob Day encourages us to celebrate and enjoy this tasty summer time treat.

Plainview, Minnesota celebrates National Corn on the Cob Day in a big way. They hold a parade and other festivities.

Did you Know?

Sweet Corn originated in Mexico. It dates back to about 9,000 BC.

Our research did not find the creator of this special day. We also did not discover when this annual tradition began.

We found it a bit odd to celebrate this special day in June.

In mid June, Sweet Corn is still being planted in home gardens. In most areas, home grown sweet corn will not be ready to harvest for several more weeks.

We found no documentation supporting this to be a formal "National" day, which requires a presidential proclamation, or an act of Congress.



+++At this point... I don't care.... Let's get that corn a roastin!
