The Other Holiday You Don’t Hear About
This is going to be an ongoing thing between now and September 30, 2021.
Nothing fancy, no poetry, no stories told, nothing expletive. Just as Jack Webb would say on Dragnet, “Just the facts.”

Now, I Googled three of these:
Fire Pup Day:
National Fire Pup Day on October 1st recognizes the canine firefighters that have long been members of fire departments across the country. While the Dalmation’s origin is unknown, their use in firehouses began during the 1700′s.
National Hair Day
There’s a day to express your love for your hair — National Hair Day on October 1. NuMe, a hair products company, created this day for people to celebrate hair styling tools and other hair products.
Since ancient times women have been obsessed with their hair. Cleopatra washed hers with donkey’s milk! Today, for many women, hair is high maintenance because how you wear your hair makes a statement about you. So, color your hair purple with polka dots, braid it, throw a weave in it or just wear your hair short and flirty. Today is a day to celebrate your personality as personified by your hair and to explore ways to keep it lustrous and healthy.
International Coffee Day
International Coffee Day is an unofficial holiday with a dual purpose: to celebrate one of the most popular beverages in the world and to raise awareness about sustainable coffee cultivation, as well as fair trade practices in the coffee industry. While some countries have their own holidays to celebrate this amazing beverage, this holiday is observed by most everyone on October 1st.
And for the record, not one of these is a celebration known for in the United States, sucj as Armed Forces Day which is held in South Korea, and Black History Month which is recognized in the United Kingdom.
The only three on this day that would be recognized by the United States are World Vegetarian Day, International Coffee Day, and Internation Day of Older Persons.
