Jan. 20th is Penguin Awareness Day
Jan. 22nd is Answer your Cat's Questions Day
of course there's Feb. 2, Groundhog Day
March 1st is National Pig Day
May 5th is Lobster Race and Oyster Parade Day

August 28th is Race Your Mouse Day
September is Chicken Month
September 22nd is Elephant Appreciation Day
September 23-29th is National Dog Week

November 18th is Buffalo on the Block Week (300-400 surplus buffalo will be auctioned off in Custer, SD
by the way, April 26th is "Hug an Australian Day." ;-)
