Virus Appreciation Day
Virus Appreciation Day falls on October 3, an odd-sounding observance that makes more sense once you know how much of biology, and of your own genome, viruses account for.
International Frugal Fun Day
International Frugal Fun Day falls on the first Saturday in October, a challenge to have a genuinely good day out without spending money, which is harder to arrange than it should be.
Card Making Day
