Jerry Juhl Day is September 25, the anniversary of Jerry Juhl's passing in 2005. Fans on the Tough Pigs message board, inspired by his wife's sentiments, have decided that this should be a day to do silly things rather than mourn Jerry's death. 
After Juhl's passing, Ken Plume wrote a tribute article for IGN Film Force. When he told Susan Juhl that he would be writing the piece, "she had only one request – make it silly.""Juhl in the Crown: Remembering Jerry Juhl", Ken Plume, IGN FilmForce, September 29, 2005
Susan Juhl's wishes for silliness for her husband's legacy were observed at Jerry's memorial where funny nose glasses were provided for attendees.
Jerry Juhl Day is somewhat like a Silly Creature equivalent to the Fraggles' Joke Day.
