It turns out that February is not only the month for lovers, but it is also National Blah Buster Month, National Embroidery Month, National Grapefruit Month, National Snack Food Month, National Weddings Month, Responsible Pet Owner Month, Return Carts to the Supermarket Month, Creative Romance Month, International Twit Award Month and Canned Food Month. And if that isn't enough to satisfy the holiday withdrawal, every day in February is set aside to focus on a timely topic or object. The most famous of which is Groundhog Day. What many may not know is that Feb. 3 also marks Cordova Ice Worm Day. The Cordova Ice Worm Festival is a winter carnival held in Cordova on Prince William Sound during the first full weekend of the month.
People gather to celebrate the big ice worm, which is actually an ice centipede.
Maybe people in Cordova are hard up for entertainment. Feb. 11 is White T-shirt Day and Don't Cry Over Spilled Milk Day. Well, maybe it's OK to cry if your milk spills on your white T-shirt. It would be embarrassing to walk around with lactaid stains. The 17th is Champion Crab Races Day.
