Mickey Mouse Day
November 18th
Mickey Mouse was first introduced to the public in a cartoon film, Steamboat Willie, which debuted, November 18, 1928, just 20 days after the Stock Market crashed and the Great Depression began. He gave people a ray of hope then, as he and the Disney characters do now. Want to celebrate? Show a Mickey Mouse video to your children, or at least hum,

National Apple Cider Day
November 18th
Did you know that in the 1300s children were baptized in cider because it was felt it was more sanitary than water? Or, it takes 36 apples to make one gallon of cider? And, it was in 1307 that William Tell was said to have shot an apple off his son’s head. Celebrate this remarkable apple drink with a cup of cider today.
