October Weird Hollidays - " Bring your teddy bear to work day"

         October has always been a festive time for parties because of Halloween and so many Fall Festivals during the month. But did you know that October has some other really weird holidays that's perfect for celebrating too? Yep, everything from "Bath Tub Party Day" where party goers are encouraged to go to the extreme and pile in a large tub (most of the time it's a large water fountain or swimming pool) and splash around in bubbles while wearing shower caps and the largest yellow duck possible!
