NATIONAL BUTTON DAY
National Button Day is observed annually on November 16. Founded in 1938, the National Button Society recognized button collecting as an organized hobby. This is a celebration day for all button collectors, skilled and novice.
Do you remember your grandmother or your mother snipping the buttons off shirts that were headed for the rag basket and then collecting them in jars? Possibly there were a couple of jars filled with different sizes and colors of buttons on her shelf that maybe you were lucky enough to be able to play with. The buttons were fun to stack into piles, sort by color or size, or scatter/slide across the floor or table making up different games each time.
Fun fact: The first Happy Meal was served in June of 1979.

Buttons are used, by crafters across the country, in many different ways and there are thousands of button collectors in the United States.

National Fast Food Day – November 16
NATIONAL FAST FOOD DAY
National Fast Food Day is observed annually on November 16. On this day each year people all across the country celebrate by going through the drive-thru, dining inside or ordering their fast food to go.
First popularized in the United States in the 1950’s, fast food is considered any meal with low preparation time and served to a customer in a packaged form for quick dine-in, take-out or take-away and typically with a drive-thru.
The term fast food was first recognized in the dictionary by Merriam-Webster in 1951.
Following World War I, automobiles became popular and more affordable. At that time drive-in restaurants were introduced. In 1921, White Castle, an American company founded by Billy Ingram and Walter Anderson in Wichita, Kansas, opened, selling hamburgers for five cents each. Anderson had opened the first White Castle in 1916 as a limited menu, high-volume, low-cost, high-speed hamburger restaurant.
The United States has the largest fast food industry in the world. There are American fast food restaurants that are located in over 100 countries.
Common fast food menu items include hamburgers and other sandwiches, fish, fried chicken, chicken nuggets, tacos, pizza, hot dogs, french fries, onion rings, breakfast biscuits, coffee and ice cream.
