National Chocolate Fondue Day The only real way to celebrate Chocolate Fondue Day is to indulge! As mentioned before you can do this at any of the fine restaurants in your area that take their fondue seriously, or at your home. If you are going to try your hand at the fondue fun, you will need to make a list of things that you will want to get. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/chocolate-fondue-day/World Nutella Day Happiness is a warm taste of hazelnut spread on a warm flaky pastry! That hazelnut spread is known across the world as Nutella. It can be spread on toast or put into the center of pastries or other baked goods. I dont know about you but I have been known to consume it simply with a spoon or finger! Dont laugh! Ive seen others use pretzel sticks to get their taste of it or even potato chips! Im sure if you are a fan you have your favorite way to get your Nutella fix! World Nutella Day is the day to share all your ideas with the world! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/nutella-day/
Weatherpersons Dont think that celebrating Weatherpersons Day needs to be an event filled with dry scientific orations, it can be filled with exciting discoveries by young and old alike. Start with the basics and pack up the kids and head over to your local science museum. There are sure to be many exhibits to help explain the weather on our planet. Some may even give local explanations and examples. Dont want to head out with the family? Hit up Netflix or your favorite streaming service and take some time to watch shows about storms and those who chase them. You can find weather related movies or if you do want to learn more, try the documentaries. There are sure to be many weather-related options.Feeling adventurous? You could contact any of the storm chasing groups and try it out for yourself. Make sure to head all the safety training and advise that they may give you. Chasing storms can be dangerous and have been known to take lives. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/weathermans-day/
Western Monarch Day Get out your tiara wait no! Its not that day. It is Western Monarch Day. It is a day to celebrate the Western Monarch butterfly. It travels from place to place but this day specifically we give thanks for their return to the central California coast. Why is this so important? It is important to watch and make sure that they do return. The monarch butterfly is facing a terrific decline in numbers. Many conservation groups are calling for it to be protected as an endangered species and claim that the number of declines could be as high as 90%! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/western-monarch-day/
