Officially, "Sneak Some Zucchini Onto Your Neighbor’s Porch Day" (Event name doesn't have enough space for the whole name). Held on August 8 every year, this lighthearted observance is an opportunity to spread some summer squash love when you inevitably grow too much. The quirky holiday was created by Thomas Roy, who has established more than 90 national days in the last 30 years. Along with giving you the perfect excuse to pawn your extra produce off onto unsuspecting neighbors, it also allows you to have a little fun with your harvest. Sharing is caring, as they say.
Did you know that zucchini was a fruit? You also know that zucchini grows in abundance and is ready for harvest in August. Zucchini growers also know that one plant of zucchini allows you to share this wonderful treat!
Zucchini is also incredibly helpful with weight loss. The produce is low in calories, high in fiber, and full of water. As such, when you eat it, your tummy doesn’t feel empty. Hopefully, you are less likely to overeat. If your zucchini produces well, add it soups, salads, and baked goods.
Sneak some zucchini into your neighbor’s porch. Don’t be surprised if your gift delights the recipient, either. Those who have none in their garden are usually excited to have some fresh zucchini, especially if they didn’t have to grow it themselves.
Join us at McDonalds, 2750 W 104th Ave, Federal Heights, CO, from 9AM to 10AM, Tuesday, August 8th, for coffee, breakfast, laughter, and geocaching camaraderie. Small TBs for discovery or moving on are always welcome. McDonalds sells food and beverages for your consumption, but purchase is not required to attend. Come on out, we love to see new cachers and seasoned cachers. All are welcome. The kids playground is open.
