Animals of China Day
You observe the giant panda in bamboo forests, the Yangtze finless porpoise in rivers, and the Chinese alligator in wetlands across this vast country. You notice that dogs and cats are increasingly popular as pets in urban areas, though many rural families keep chickens, pigs, and ducks. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
Regional/Cultural Day
Products of Slovenia Day
You enjoy Laško beer and Radenska mineral water, which are iconic Slovenian beverages found in homes and restaurants throughout the country. You understand that these brands represent Slovenia's tradition of quality production and its small nation's ability to create products that define everyday Slovenian life.
Regional/Cultural Day
Ramp Festival
Throughout Appalachia. Ramps are wild leeks with a garlic-onion flavor so intense that eating them makes your sweat smell for two days. Entire communities hold festivals where they fry ramps with eggs, potatoes, and bacon. The AHA! moment: in ramp country, you know it is ramp season because every church potluck and every school hallway smells like a forest floor that fought back.
Regional/Cultural Day
Tax Day
The day every American files their federal income tax return, or more accurately, the day every American realizes they should have started gathering their documents in February instead of at 11 PM on April 14th. In post offices across the country, the parking lots are full until midnight. The IRS processes over 150 million individual tax returns per year. The average refund is about $2,800, which most Americans treat as a bonus rather than what it actually is: an interest-free loan they gave the government.
