NATIONAL SWEETEST DAY

National Sweetest Day is observed on the third Saturday in October by people of all ages.

Just in time for its 100th Anniversary, National Sweetest Day encourages everyone to be generous even in the smallest ways.  From its inception as Candy Day in 1916, this day reminds us that even small tokens improve the lives of those around us who are suffering or going without.  While the day may have begun with candy and sweets, encouraging us to take home sweets to our sweethearts and friends, it is a day full of lessons in persistence and resilience.

On National Sweetest Day, take care of all those who need care.  Even those who need great care, when given the smallest token will feel the effects.  A little treat, a card, a show of support during a time of need may be the sweetest gift on this day.

HOW TO OBSERVE

Give a gift to someone who needs a reminder of the sweetness in the world on The Sweetest Day of the Year. Use #NationalSweetestDay to post on social media.

HISTORY

National Sweetest Day found its beginnings in a holiday founded by the National Confectioners’ Association in 1916 called Candy Day.  On October 14, 1916, candy shops around the country filled newspapers announcing their sweetest treats and delights.  Originally designated to be celebrated the second Saturday of every October, the confectioners’ convention in Detroit in May of 1916 made the final resolution. Walter C. Hughes, the secretary of the National Confectioners’ Association, encouraged Americans to patronizes their local candy shops, bakers, and druggist for the highest quality confections.

The earliest mentions of the “Sweetest Day of the Year” were in several advertisements found in Indiana, Minnesota, and Texas newspapers.  It was not the official name of the day – not yet.

In 1917 with war raging in Europe, many retailers encouraged patrons to “Get one for yourself and one for the boys overseas!”

By April of 1918, the United States officially entered the war in Europe and with that came rationing.  Sugar, as well as many other commodities, became scarce.  The holiday that was starting to see such success was shelved.

With the end of the war in 1919, sweetness returned to October.  So sweet in fact, Candy Day became an entire week.  Then in 1923, the day kicked into the full charitable swing.
Sweetest Day’s theme of charity and giving became apparent in 1921 when the Detroit Retail Confectioners, Detroit Wholesale Confections Club, Detroit Jobbing Confectioners Association and the Michigan Confectioners Club joined forces with the Red Cross to distribute thousands of bags of candy to hospitals, orphanages, shelters and homes across Michigan. The celebration also included 100 regulation army target balloons which dropped coupons worth a box of candy.

I hope you’ll join me in celebrating Sweetest Day this year!

Iowa Hawkeye Football game.

Steve and I got to attend the Iowa Hawkeye/ Iowa State football game on Saturday.  The game was fun and the Hawkeyes won!  Yeah! I have to admit I attended Iowa State my freshman year, my three boys are all Iowa Staters, as well as my Dad and sister.  I secretly cheer for Iowa State too, so no matter who won, I would’ve been happy.  Steve and I graduated from Iowa and our sweet Abby goes to Iowa now.  My sophomore year I transferred to Iowa to be closer to my long time boyfriend, Steve, and it was the best decision ever!

Blessings,

Beth 🙂
