National Sleepy Head Day

Posted on by Haroon Mohsin

National Sleepy Head Day is celebrated on July 27. This quirky Finnish tradition began in the medieval period to wash off the evil of laziness.

It is better to abandon your bed as soon as possible and positively before 7 a.m on this day. If you are the last one to awake today, there is a chance that your friends or family will drench you in bed with a bucket of water or fling you into a lake, pool, or ocean.

If you have an understanding bunch, ask them to fling you in a bathtub full of bubbly water with essential oils, while they are at it; you will end up smelling nice and helping your skin (just saying!)

Walk On Stilts Day

Posted on by Haroon Mohsin

Walk on Stilts Day is celebrated on July 27 every year, and we’re going to celebrate it by putting our stilts’ walking skills to the test. Can you imagine that stilts walking went as far back as sixth-century ancient Greece? Stilts are a set of poles with foot straps used to elevate the wearer above the ground when walking. Stilts make the wearer taller than usual and are convenient for walking over muddy or unstable ground. Stilt walking is widely associated with the circus, where performers juggle and joust on stilts to the crowd’s delight. Stilts are also a common sight at parades, festivals, and functions.

Liberia Independence Day

Posted on by Haroon Mohsin

Liberia Independence Day is commemorated on July 26 every year by the African Republic of Liberia. Formerly a United States colony, the country was founded in 1822 as a haven to house and settle freed African-American slaves. Liberia became the first African republic to declare independence after adopting its constitution in 1847. Liberia has had a turbulent history since then, which has hampered its progress as a nation. Consistent growth in the country’s political and economic structures, on the other hand, has sparked hope for the future.
