A day for the one neglected corner, drawer, shelf, bag, vent, box, or closet that finally gets attention.
A practical celebration of the list that saves the day, even when one item is remembered only after reaching the door.
A day for herbs, flowers, seedlings, balcony pots, and every bit of green people manage to keep alive.
They are active in cold weather. They forage on warm days. They store food for winter. You see them on the path.
You encounter Mediterranean seabirds like the yellow-legged gull and occasional monk seals in Monaco's waters. You find that small dog breeds, cats, and ornamental fish are the typical pets kept by Monégasque residents. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
You encounter Persian carpets and rugs handwoven in towns like Tabriz and Isfahan, where families have perfected intricate knotting techniques across generations.

This day exists because Americans need a reminder to clean their refrigerators. The average American refrigerator contains at least three items that have expired, one container of leftovers that cannot be identified, and a jar of mustard that is older than the kitchen. Cleaning the refrigerator is not a holiday. It is a responsibility. But in America, if you put "National" in front of something, it becomes a thing.
In Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and the Dakotas, deer camp is an annual multi-generation hunting tradition. The camp is a cabin, a trailer, or a tent in the woods. The men (and increasingly women) go out before dawn, sit in a tree stand for hours, and sometimes see a deer. Deer camp is not about the deer. It is about the cabin, the card game, the breakfast cooked on a cast-iron skillet, and the stories that get better every year. The AHA! moment: deer camp is so important in Minnesota that school districts in some rural areas cancel school on the opening day of deer season.
