November 9th is Microtia Awareness, National Louisiana, National Scrapple, World Adoption, World Freedom and more!
Microtia Awareness Day
Microtia Awareness Day, November 9th, is dedicated to raising awareness and understanding of a congenital disorder, which derives its name from Latin words for little ears. Mark the calendar and think of the number 9 as the shape of an ear.
National Louisiana Day
We recognize each state in the order they entered the union, beginning with Hawaii and ending with Hawaii on Independence Day. We feature a small part of each state's past, foods, and the people who make up the state. There's so much more to discover, we can't help but celebrate our beautiful country even more.
National Scrapple Day
On November 9th, the first pork dish to be invented in the United States is commemorated on National Scrapple Day. It is traditionally a mush of pork scraps and trimmings mixed with cornmeal, wheat flour, and spices, such as sage, thyme, savory, and black pepper, for those not familiar with scrapple. The mush is then turned into a semi-solid loaf, which can be cut and pan-fried.
World Adoption Day
Every year on November 9th, World Adoption Day encourages adoptees to share their stories. It's also a day for adoptive parents to connect with others and reflect on their adoption journey.
World Freedom Day
Each year, the Berlin Wall's fall is commemorated on November 9th. This historic event in Central and Eastern Europe signaled the end of communism in Central and Eastern Europe.
