It is celebrated each year on the first
Friday in October. Did you notice smile day is always celebrated
on a Happy Friday. Do it! Smile. You will make yourself and all
around you happier.
Also October 5 is Rocky
Mountain Oyster Day (bull testicles) and Apple Betty Day (also
known as apple pan dowdy and apple crisp). Amarillo, Texas, Vinita,
Oklahoma, and other cities annually claim to have the
World’s Largest Calf Fry Cook-Off, where cooks compete in the
art of frying bull testicles. A busy day to make us all smile
and be glad we are not bulls.
Tomorrow, October 6 is
German American Day. It commemorates the founding of Germantown,
Pa. in 1683. The holiday celebrates America's largest ethnic
group, with 50 million people of German heritage.

World Smile Day
Every year on the first Friday in October we celebrate World
Smile Day. It was created by Harvey Ball, creator of the Smiley
Face during 1963.
After his death, the “Harvey Ball World Smile Foundation” was created to honor his name and memory. The slogan of the Smile Foundation is “improving this world, one smile at a time.” The Foundation continues as the official sponsor of World Smile Day each year. It is easy to participate on this unofficial holiday. Just do acts of kindness to spread good will and cheer.
Smile, it improves your beauty 1,000%.
Also on this day is German-American Day. It first gained a spot on US calendars over 130 years ago. An annual holiday on October 6th, it marks the day in 1683 when 13 German families arrived in Philadelphia to set up home. Of course, there was no Germany until 1871, instead separate German-speaking states mostly ruled themselves as parts of the Catholic Holy Roman Empire.

World Smile Day
Today, October 2, 2015 we celebrate World
Smile Day. It is always celebrated on the first Friday in
October. Show the world a big smile and use #WorldSmileDay to
post on social media.
The idea of World Smile Day was initiated by Harvey Ball, a commercial artist from Worcester, Massachusetts. He created the Smiley Face in 1963. The World’s first World Smile Day was held in the year 1999 and has been held annually since.
After Harvey died in 2001, the “Harvey Ball World Smile Foundation” was created to honor his name and memory. The slogan of the Smile Foundation is “improving this world, one smile at a time.” The Foundation continues as the official sponsor of World Smile Day each year. Likely no coincidence this year it happens on a Happy Friday. Harvey wants us to have a ball.

World Smile Day
Today (first Friday in October) is World
Smile Day®.
Harvey Ball, a commercial artist from Worcester, Massachusetts created the smiley face in 1963. He worried the world lost sight of the meaning of his famous smiley face and thought that we all should devote one day each year to smiles and kind acts. It began in 1999 and has continued every year around the world. Ball passed away in 2002, but 'Harvey Ball World Smile Foundation' was created to honor his name and memory. The Foundation continues as the official sponsor of World Smile Day® each year. Do an act of kindness and make someone smile today.
