Dates in History

The revolution begins…MTV debuts August 1, 1981 and television is never the same. I predict you’ll celebrate National Psychic Week from August 6-10; if you do, you’ll know what you can get rid of August 11, National Garage Sale Day. United Nations International Youth Day falls on August 12 – if the days of youth are comfortably behind you, thank your stars for the Social Security Act, which was enacted August 14, 1935 (or maybe you’re more comfortable celebrating the anniversary of the 1969 Woodstock Music and Art Fair). Aloha, Honolulu! Celebrate Hawaii’s admission to statehood on the 17th, then cheer for your favorite pint-size slugger during the Little League World Series held August 17 – 26.
