October 5 is Chic Spy Day, a day to acknowledge that a well-dressed spy is always more successful in catching the bad guys than a scruffy one.

The unofficial holiday is a tribute to the elegant and stylish spies in popular culture and was created in 2015 by chicspy.com, a fashion website. It commemorates the anniversary of the day in 1962, when the chicest spy of all – James Bond – made his debut on the big screen in a movie called Dr. No. Starring Sean Connery and Bond, the film was based on a novel of the same name by Ian Fleming.

Fashionable and Resourceful
The spy genre of movies has frequently featured sophisticated and well-dressed protagonists who are not only equipped with fighting skills that can put a ninja to shame, but are also charming, attractive and immensely likable. All spies - men or women - in movies tend to own state-of-the-art espionage and surveillance equipment.

As a genre, spy movies are as old as the film industry. They became especially popular during the Second World War and the Cold War era. Today, spy movies tend to focus on themes such as terrorism and governmental corruption.

How to Celebrate?
Have a favorite spy? Spend the day watching his or her movies.
Watch Dr. No and all of James Bond's movies.
Have a spy party. Ask your guests to dress up like their favorite spy; serve shaken, not stirred martinis; and share notes about why you think your favorite spy is the chicest.

Did You Know…
…that even though Dr. No was the first James Bond film, Casino Royale was the first Bond novel ever published?

Lettuce taco 'bout Taco Day. It's on October 4 and that gives you the perfect excuse to spend the entire day eating tacos.

A traditional Mexican version of the sandwich, a taco is a tortilla stuffed with filling. Usually made of corn or wheat, the tortilla can be filled with beef, chicken, vegetables, pork or seafood and served with cheese, cilantro or onions as garnish.

Different Kinds
In Mexico, tacos are generally associated with fresh tortillas, while in the United States, one can find many different types of tacos. Some of these include hard shelled tacos, made of deep fried U shaped tortillas; fried tacos, which are made by frying tortillas stuffed with filling; and tacodillas which is made by stuffing cheese between two tortillas and then adding a filling to the top tortilla.

How to Celebrate?
With tacos, lots and lots of tacos! Start the day with breakfast tacos - eggs, bacon and breakfast sausage wrapped in a tortilla. Have a vegetarian taco with beans, rice, jalapeño peppers and guacamole for lunch and delicious pork, beef or chicken tacos for dinner. Finish the day with dessert tacos - tacos filled with ice cream, fruit or cream and topped with chocolate or fruit sauce.
Experiment with the flavors of the taco filling. What about making some Korean-inspired tacos by adding some kimchi or an Indian version of the taco with some curried chicken?

Did You Know…
…that in 18th century Mexico, tacos referred to pieces of paper that Mexican miners wrapped around gunpowder to make holes in mines?

OCTOBER 2nd 2026

The first Friday of October every year is celebrated around the globe as World Smile Day. The unofficial holiday encourages people to do acts of kindness to spread good will and cheer.

First started in 1999 by the creator of the smiley, Harvey Ball, the holiday celebrates the intent behind the now universally recognized icon - to bring a smile of the faces of people around the world. The purpose of the holiday was the move away from the commercialization of the smiley and to use it as a symbol of kindness and affection.

Morale Booster
The smiley made its debut in 1963 as a way to increase the morale of the employees of a life insurance company. Today, it is one of the most popular nonverbal ways to convey joy, happiness and cheer. The smiley face began as a bright yellow circle with two dots to represent eyes and a black line that represents a smiling mouth.

Emoji
Today, there are many different versions of the smiley, representing many other human emotions such a sadness, surprise, worry and laughter. In modern texting smileys are used to express emotions in online conversations on a smartphone or on a computer. The practice has its origin in Japan, and the smileys and other icons are known as emoji.

How to Celebrate?
Make people around you smile.
Do a random act of kindness. Buy a stranger a coffee. Compliment someone. Give your seat up to someone on the bus.
Surprise someone in your family with a visit, cook a meal for them, or do something special for them.
Volunteer your time and/ or money at a local nonprofit organization.

Did You Know.....that babies are born with the ability to smile?

LATEST FOLIAGE REPORT!

WEEK 3, SEPT. 30, 2026

Peak fall color is just around the corner for many parts of Vermont. With nighttime temperatures dropping and recent sun-filled days, the red leaves are showing up more and more. The red leaves we see (anthocyanins) are generated in response to these environmental cues, whereas the yellow and orange leaves are masked all year until the green chlorophyll begins to degrade. You can see this increase in red foliage through many parts of the Upper Connecticut River Valley and White River Valley. Areas further north (Northeast Kingdom, Upper Green Mountains, and the Capital Region) have had great color for at least a week now as they approach peak. Some hillsides in southern Vermont have fall color in pockets, but color should start progressing this week. With a sunny forecast for the weekend, it’s a great time to explore the variety of fall colors across the state.

Best bets: Northern Vermont looks outstanding right now. The Northeast Kingdom is at peak, with the Green Mountains and their foothills fast approaching the same. The drive along US 302 from Barre to the New Hampshire border is gorgeous right now. Hikes in Worcester, Belvidere, and Groton will have great foliage on the trails and the bonus of stunning lookouts this weekend with the sunny forecast.

October 1 is annually celebrated as International Coffee Day. The unofficial holiday celebrates one of the most popular beverages in the world - coffee.

The holiday also helps raise awareness about sustainable coffee cultivation and fair trade practices within the coffee industry. Before 2015 the day used to be celebrated on different dates in different countries.

Coffee is a drink made from the seeds or berries of the coffee plant. As a beverage, it has been enjoyed by people around the world for many centuries. Historians believe that coffee was first discovered in Ethiopia but was cultivated on a large scale and traded for the first time by the Arabs.

Religious Ceremonies
Initially used for religious ceremonies and rituals, it became the beverage of choice in most households in the Middle East, Persia and Africa by the 16th century and in Europe and the Americas by the 17th century.

An Offense
Despite its popularity today, coffee had its share of critics in history. Sultan Murad IV of the Ottoman Empire hated coffee so much that he made coffee drinking an offense punishable by death. In England, King Charles II fearing plots hatched over cups of coffee ordered all coffee houses shut.
Many countries celebrate their own version of a Coffee Day on different dates during the year. For example, Germany started Tag Des Kaffees in 2006 and celebrates it every year on the first Saturday of September.
In the United States, National Coffee Day is celebrated on September 29.

The holiday has unknown origins and is also sometimes known as Coffee Day.

How to Celebrate?
Whether your “cup of coffee” is a refreshing iced coffee or a piping hot Americano, Espresso, Café au Lait (coffee with milk), or plain black with no sugar, International Coffee Day is a day to take some time off from your busy day to enjoy your favorite version of the beverage. Here are some ways to celebrate this day:
Many coffee shops around the world offer a free cup of coffee on International Coffee Day, so get in line and grab yourself a cup of free coffee.
Have coffee or coffee flavored food and beverages the whole day long. What about starting your day with coffee, have a coffee flavored yogurt for lunch and end the day with coffee crusted steak and a coffee flavored cake for dessert?
Coffee bring friends together. Set up coffee dates with your friends and spend quality time with them over a cup of coffee.
Join a coffee tasting event and learn about the art and science of growing and brewing coffee.
Try new flavors and types of coffee.

SEPTEMBER 28th 2026

Neighbors are an integral part of our social lives – whether at home or at work. Good Neighbor Day on September 28 is an annual holiday that promotes neighborliness and niceness towards people who surround us.

The holiday was created by Becky Mattson of Arizona in the 1970s as a way to encourage neighbors to be good to each other. In 1978, then American President, Jimmy Carter issued a proclamation that designated September 24, 1978 as National Good Neighbor Day. In 2004, the United States Senate passed a resolution to celebrate September 26, 2004 as National Good Neighbor Day.

Prior to 2003, the holiday was celebrated on the fourth Sunday in September. Now it is unofficially celebrated in the U.S. and around the world as Good Neighbor Day.

SEPTEMBER 27th 2026

Take out all your frustrations and anger and be green and environmentally friendly at the same time by crushing a can to celebrate Crush A Can Day on September 27.

There are few things in life as satisfying as feeling a can squish and bend between your fingers, and this unofficial holiday is the perfect excuse to crush as many cans you can find. And it is environmentally friendly too! Take all your crushed cans to the recycling center to be recycled and given a new life.

Cans are containers usually used to store and transport goods and perishable food and beverages. In most grocery markets, you can find two types of food cans – tin cans and aluminum cans. In many parts of the world all cans irrespective of what they are made of are called tin cans.

It is not known who created this holiday.

How to Celebrate?
Start collecting cans in anticipation of this day. On the day of, host a can crushing party. Use cans to decorate your venue and serve food and beverages – just make sure they have been cleaned out thoroughly and are not rusted. Then gather around in your backyard with friends and family and get crushing.
Line up those cans and go crazy on them. Hold a can crushing contest – whoever crushes the most cans gets to take all of them to the recycling center!
Be very careful when you crush cans. If you are unable to crush them leave them at your closest recycling center – let the experts deal with it.

Did You Know…
…that recycling one tin can save enough energy to run a television for 3 hours?
