CREATIVE HOLIDAYS IN APRIL
Some fun dates are happening in April. So you've got April Fool's Day, National Walking Day, National Burrito Day, Handmade Day, Beer Day, World Health Day, Siblings Day, National Pet Day, Grilled Cheese Day, Scrabble Day, Gardening Day, World Art Day, Tax Day (I don't know if we want to celebrate that), Earth Day, Picnic Day, Telephone Day, Arbor Day, Superhero Day, and International Dance Day.
So you'll see some of those we've woven into the events. Some of you love to piggyback off the creative holidays, but sometimes it just doesn't work on that day so we’ve made them to where you can do them at any point in April.
