Celebrating National Wildlife Day in Nassau County
Celebrating National Wildlife Day in Nassau County
Did you know September 4th is National Wildlife Day? This holiday was created in 2005 by animal advocate Colleen Paige to raise awareness about endangered species and conservation efforts. It's a chance to pause, appreciate the incredible diversity of wildlife around us, and maybe even swap your Netflix "wildlife docuseries binge" for a real-life encounter with nature.
And here's the best part: you don't need to trek to the Serengeti to see amazing animals—you've got plenty of native wildlife right here on Long Island, especially in Nassau County.

Happy Calendar Adjustment Day!
Happy Calendar Adjustment Day!
(Yes, that's a real holiday — and no, it's not just an excuse to skip Monday's staff meeting.)
A Little History Lesson (Don't Worry, It's Short!)

Playing by the Book: Celebrating National "According to Hoyle" Day in Nassau County
Every August 29th, we celebrate National "According to Hoyle" Day—a holiday dedicated to playing by the rules. The phrase "According to Hoyle" comes from Edmond Hoyle, an 18th-century British writer who literally wrote the book on card games. If you've ever heard someone say, "that's not how you play!" and wished you had the rulebook handy, you can thank Hoyle for setting the standard.
A Brief History of Hoyle
Edmond Hoyle published his first rulebook in 1742, covering Whist (a precursor to Bridge). His name became synonymous with accuracy and fair play. By the 19th century, "according to Hoyle" was common slang for doing...
