Many businesses along the corridor will be open and offering specials for the event.

National Stop Bullying Day- National Stop Bullying Day, which is referred to by some as “unity” Day is celebrated annually on the second Wednesday in October  This annual celebration is to bring awareness of the need to stand up against and put and end to bullying.

National Take Your Parents To Lunch Day- National Take Your Parents to Lunch Day changes annually.  During this event, parents will visit their children’s school and have lunch with them in the school cafeteria. The goal of National Take Your Parents to Lunch Day is to learn more about what goes into putting together a healthy lunch and for parents and school official to open the lines of communication so they can work together to provide kids with the healthiest meals possible.
