Believe it or not, we had no idea about this holiday when we named our company 6 years ago. But pretty cool, huh? :)
The Sweetest day is Saturday, October 17 and is not really just another made for retail holiday but it seems to have evolved into that. It's not exactly Valentine's Day, it was started when a Cleveland candy store owner brought little "sweet" treats to orphans.
In other words, the sweetness was in helping others. It was always on the third Saturday of each October, leading people to call it "The Sweetest Day of the Year". Now it is all about sweethearts in 2009 and we will try and help in case you need a plan.
First, try and make it a traditional sweet day, times are tough so make a donation of time, food or any kind of help to one of your local charities. Even a little bit helps. ~ By Ginger Marks for the National Ledger
