National Pig Day

National Pig Day(or just Pig Day as some people call it) is a national holiday to celebrate Pigs everywhere.Now yes, some people do celebrate it because they like pepperoni, ham, bacon, etc. But it's supposed to celebrate the pig itself!

National Pig Day was started in 1972 by Ellen Stanley and Mary Lynne Rave. This holiday is celebrated on March 1st and usually in the Midwest. Most people don't celebrate or even know of it.

There are some zoos, schools, nursing homes, and sporting events that have events or do something to celebrate this holiday.

Pig Day is on the same day as Share a Smile Day and Peanut Butter Lover's Day! But Pig Day is definitely the best.
