NATIONAL
LEATHERCRAFTING DAY
|
The rich heritage, artistry, and skill of leathercrafting are honored August 15th
on National Leathercrafting Day.
|
|
The versatility of leather has proven to be artistic and utilitarian since ancient times.
In the hands of a skilled craftsperson, leather can be transformed into hard-working saddles, stylish boots, supple clothing or beautiful artwork.
Specialty techniques and designs perfected over time have given mankind
a durable material that has never gone
out of style.
National Leathercrafting Day recognizes the dedication and creativity of leather workers and the passion that comes alive in their inspired designs and
time-honored traditions.

National Relaxation Day is observed annually on August 15th. It is time to slow down, unwind and relax!
National Relaxation Day is an important day as we all need a break from the fast-paced and often hectic lifestyles we live.
Taking time to recuperate and rejuvenate our tired minds and bodies may help prevent many health risks. Like the founder of this day suggested, too much work can make us sick, run down, tired and that’s just wrong.
But he was right! It has been proven that stress can be harmful to our health, both mentally and physically.
|
|
Most doctors will agree that finding ways to relax and finding ways to reduce stress will improve overall health.
What is your favorite relaxation activity?
- Reading a book
- Fishing with a friend
- A picnic in the park
- Walking along the beach
- Taking a drive in the country
- Spa
- Golfing
- Photography
- A movie
- Window shopping
- Lunch with friends
- Drinks with friends
- Watching sports
- Swimming
These are just a few of the many possible relaxation ideas that you may want to use to celebrate this holiday.
HOW TO OBSERVE
Take a deep breath, unwind while viewing your favorite TV show or just find a quiet spot in a park and enjoy the summer breeze. Use #NationalRelaxationDay to post on social media and spread the word.

NATIONAL LEMON
MERINGUE PIE DAY
|
Are you hungry?
Pie lovers and lemon lovers from across the country get your forks ready.
August 15th is National Lemon
Meringue Pie Day!
|
|
Served as a dessert, lemon meringue pie is a baked pie usually made with a crust of shortbread pastry, lemon curd filling and a fluffy meringue topping.
A meringue consists of egg whites whipped into stiff peaks with white sugar then baked in a slow oven. It then becomes crisp. Meringue can also be served individually with fruit fillings or as a cookie. Meringue was perfected in the 17th century, and lemon meringue pie, as we know it today, was developed in the 19th century.
