SUMMARY:National Catfish Day in the USA 2024
DESCRIPTION:No\, this has absolutely nothing to do with MTV\, the internet or dating. This unsurprisingly has everything to do with catfish! Perhaps one of the lesser known days of recognition and celebration\, National Catfish Day has assisted the continued growth of this specific type of aqua farming across the USA.\nJune 25 is National Catfish Day in the USA. The holiday was designated by President Ronald Reagan on June 25 in 1987. National Catfish Day celebrates the value of farm-raised fish. \nOriginally the commemorative bill was proposed by Congressmen Mike Epsy\, who having recognised the industry as growing in his home state\, endeavoured to encourage the growth of the industry further afield. Catfish were not a popular choice of delicacy at the time. Although initially the bill was unsuccessful\, Mr Epsy garnered support from fellow congressmen and was also able\, by providing the best catfish luncheons to military leaders\, to ensure catfish was added to the military commissary menu. As a result his popularity at election time grew in his home state\, thanks to the increase in demand for catfish\, as did support for the bill. The text of the Proclamation by President Ronald Reagan\, illustrates the boom in the industry\, the increase in sales and the innovative methods developed to ensure the highest standards were met. \nSo why not look up some Catfish recipes and find out just why they make one of the USA’s most popular fish to eat? \n  \n

SUMMARY:Leon Day in the USA 2024
DESCRIPTION:Leon Day is an unofficial holiday celebrated in the United States on June 25. It is the halfway mark to Christmas. The exact origin of Leon Day is unknown. However\, it is clear why it was named so: Leon is Noel (another name for Christmas) spelled backwards.\nThe date of June 25 marks the turning point when Christmas begins to come closer on the calendar. Although Leon Day is not an official holiday\, it is celebrated by many businesses and organizations in a number of ways. For example\, retailers may offer special deals and promotions. Some radio stations play Christmas music during the day. For many crafters\, Leon Day is a time to start making decorations and gifts for Christmas. \nNonprofit organizations and charities may hold fundraisers to remind people that donations are appreciated all year round\, and not exclusively during the Christmas season. For example\, the Salvation Army sometimes observes Leon Day with launching an out-of-season Christmas kettle campaign. \nSome people celebrate Leon Day as a mini Christmas. They get out Christmas decorations\, put on ugly holidays sweaters and Santa hats\, watch their favorite Christmas movies\, and treat themselves to eggnog\, gingerbread\, and candy canes. \nWhether you celebrate it or not\, the countdown begins now!

SUMMARY:National HIV Testing Day in the USA 2024
DESCRIPTION:June 27th is National HIV Testing Day in the USA. Established in 1995 the day aims to encourage people to get tested for HIV\, know their status and get linked to care and treatment. \nMay national organisations\, government bodies and medical care providers join forces to raise the profile of the day and the disease. \nThe day educates people about HIV\, what it is\, how it is transmitted\, who is at risk and the symptoms.
