7:55AM - Coming soon.....
November 10 -- Sadie Hawkins Day
Not a typical holiday, Sadie Hawkins Day is the invention of Al Capp, creator of the Li’l Abner comic strip. Capp conceived a day in Dogpatch, U.S.A., when all the unmarried ladies could pursue (literally) their men. If caught, the hapless bachelors were soon trudging down the aisle. This fictional world so captured people’s imaginations that Sadie Hawkins Day passed into the realm of modern folklore. The first Sadie Hawkins Day took place on Wednesday, November 9, 1938, but it’s usually celebrated on the nearest Saturday to accommodate all the "girls-ask-boys" school dances and other events.

November 11 -- Veterans Day
Originally Armistice Day, commemorating the signing of the agreement that ended World War I at 11:00 A.M., November 11, 1918, this federal holiday was changed to Veterans Day in 1954. At that time, it became a day to honor all the men and women who have served in the armed forces of the United States. Each year, special ceremonies are held at Arlington Cemetery in Virginia.

November 12 -- Indian Summer Begins
A period of warm weather following a cold spell or a hard frost, Indian summer can occur between St. Martin’s Day (November 12) and November 20. Although there are different dates for its occurrence, for more than 200 years the Almanac has adhered to the saying "If All Saints’ brings out winter, St. Martin’s brings out Indian summer." As for the origin of the term, some say that it comes from the early Native Americans, who believed that the condition was caused by a warm wind sent from the court of their southwestern god, Cautantowwit.
