National Floral Design Day on February 28th recognizes the art and history of floral design. For thousands of years, floral design has been an important cultural art form.

NATIONAL TOOTH FAIRY DAY
National Tooth Fairy Day falls on August 22 AND February 28 each year to doubly encourage us to take a look back on the history of one of dental care's little helpers. It's one way our children develop good dental hygiene. #NationalToothFairyDay

NATIONAL PUBLIC SLEEPING DAY
If you're tired on February 28th, it might be because National Public Sleeping Day encourages a mid-day nap right where you are. It is a day for anyone and everyone to take a nap on a blanket at the beach, at the park, in the movie theater, on a bus, train, or subway or any other public place that may work for you. However, it may not be a good idea to take that nap at your desk during work! #PublicSleepingDay
