National Badger Day

National Badger Day is celebrated every year on October 6. Now sure, you might see one of these short-legged furry fellas, say ‘aww’ and get into a cuddling mode but make no mistake! These are fearsome creatures who may appear adorable and docile but can fight back when provoked. Apart from being adorable but fierce fighters, badgers are also extremely important for the ecosystem and play an important role.

Republic Day in Portugal

Republic Day in Portugal is celebrated on October 5 every year and is also known as ‘Implantation of the Republic’ in Portugal. This important day marks the overthrow of the monarchy, the House of Braganca, in 1910. The monarchy had been in power since the 11th century and was replaced by a republican form of government in a bloodless revolution. It also brought about civil and religious liberties. It is a public holiday with schools, state offices, and some restaurants being closed. Like other public holidays in Portugal, Republic Day is not moved to a weekday if it falls on a weekend.

National Produce Misting Day

National Produce Misting Day is observed each year on October 2 across the U.S.A. National Produce Misting Day is the day to recognize the innovation of keeping fruits and vegetables fresh. Misting innovations make sure that produce remains crisp, hydrated, and nutrient-dense. We all love fresh produce and nothing tastes as nice as farm-fresh fruits and vegetables. While not all of us have the privilege to eat directly from farms, well-misted produce is the only way to ensure that what we eat is always fresh and healthy. Eating fresh produce is also the simplest way to ensure that your body is getting the best of nutrients.
