Rolling Into National Play-Doh Day in Nassau County
Rolling Into National Play-Doh Day in Nassau County
If you grew up with brightly colored tubs of Play-Doh stacked in your toy chest, you know exactly why we celebrate National Play-Doh Day every September 16th. It's squishy, it's colorful, it smells oddly nostalgic—and it's been fueling kids' (and let's be honest, parents') imaginations for generations.
From Wallpaper Goo to Childhood Gold
Believe it or not, Play-Doh wasn't invented as a toy at all. In the 1930s, it started out as a wallpaper cleaner in Cincinnati. When sales of...

Make a Hat Day: Crowning Creativity in Nassau County
Make a Hat Day: Crowning Creativity in Nassau County
September 15 is Make a Hat Day, a holiday tailor-made for anyone who's ever looked in the mirror and thought, "You know what this outfit needs? A little flair on top!"
While the exact origins of Make a Hat Day are fuzzy (much like a felt cloche), it's become a fun excuse to let imagination run wild — whether you're hot-gluing sequins to a sunhat, knitting a cozy beanie, or folding yesterday's newspaper into a jaunty sailor cap.

Stirring Up Fun: National Kids Take Over the Kitchen Day
Stirring Up Fun: National Kids Take Over the Kitchen Day in Nassau County
Every September 13th, the nation celebrates National Kids Take Over the Kitchen Day—a holiday that's equal parts fun, messy, and delicious. The day encourages kids to roll up their sleeves, tie on an apron, and show the grown-ups who's really boss in the kitchen. And while it's designed for children, let's be honest: you don't need to be under 18 to join in. You can always borrow a neighbor's child, invite your grandkids, or simply be a kid at heart. After all, who doesn't want an excuse to play with flour?

Press Start on National Video Game Day
September 12th is National Video Game Day, and whether your thumbs are fine-tuned for a lightning-fast combo or you're just here to relive a little Pac-Man nostalgia, today's your excuse to celebrate. Video games aren't just entertainment — they've shaped pop culture, connected communities, and given us all at least one late night shouting "just one more level."

National Video Game Day has been floating around since the early 1990s, but it's gained traction in recent years thanks to the sheer size of the gaming community. What started as...

Patriot Day: Remembering, Serving, and Celebrating What Community Means
Patriot Day: Remembering, Serving, and Celebrating What Community Means
Every September 11, we pause. We remember. We honor the near 3,000 lives taken in the attacks of 2001—those who perished at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and on Flight 93 in Pennsylvania. Patriot Day, formally established by Congress via Public Law 107-89 on December 18, 2001, serves as a National Day of Service and Remembrance.
This day is not a federal holiday—the schools and businesses are open—but flags are flown at half-staff at the White House and all U.S. government buildings, and Americans are encouraged to observe a moment of silence at 8:46 a.m. (Eastern Time), the moment the first hijacked plane struck the North Tower.
