October Observances

As per my personal Facebook tradition, every October 1, I post the national observances for October. My list below is from www.nationaldaycalendar.com. (I have omitted several entries in an effort to shorten my list, but I don't think that I achieved my goal.) I used to post a different picture from the list every day during October, but I have decided to just continue to post my usual daily observances and to not post the October monthly observances every day because I just posted them here and because it would produced too much clutter on my Facebook wall. Perhaps, I will repost my list a few more times during the month.
