Regional/Cultural Day
The American Roadside Stand
The sign is hand-painted and the prices are written in marker on a piece of cardboard and both of these are good signs. You pay cash because that is how this works and you always have exactly enough. Whatever is in the paper bag is better than what is in the grocery store and you know exactly why.
Regional/Cultural Day
Animals of Barbados Day
You visit Barbados where you spot green monkeys, Barbados threadsnakes, frigatebirds, and sea turtles. You notice that Barbadian families typically keep dogs, cats, and tropical fish as household pets. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.

Brands of Turks and Caicos Islands Day
You find that Turks and Caicos Islands, as a small Caribbean territory, produces no internationally recognized brands of its own. You appreciate instead the islands' reputation for quality salt historically exported globally and their fresh seafood, with most consumer brands imported from the United States and Caribbean neighbors.
