NATIONAL KOI DAY

Today is July 7 and National Koi Day on the National Day Calendar and we are honoring the Koi fish today! Join us as we learn about the colorful Koi fish and celebrate the life of Hanako, the world’s oldest Koi fish.

National Koi Day celebrates the Japanese Koi fish and brings attention to the exotic beauty of the fish. As a symbol of courage, patience, perseverance, and strength, the Koi fish has been celebrated in the Japanese culture for centuries.

The word “koi” comes from nishiki-goi, which means colored carp. Some say the translation also means “love.” Either way, the Koi fish is a variety of Amur carp specifically bred for water gardens. Historically, records indicate breeding began in Niiggata, Japan, around the 19th century. Today, identification of the Koi fish depends on the hues and patterns of the color of the fish. The most common colors of the Koi fish are white, red, orange, yellow, blue, and black.

Koi fish are highly intelligent fish that also show affection, especially to their owners. They are known to interact with the people around them by displaying patterns of excitement when they “see” people they recognize. In fact, many Koi fish tend to get excited and swim rapidly when their owners are near. Owners can teach their Koi fish to do tricks, like stick their head out of the water during feeding time. However, Koi fish do carry some bacteria that can cause infections in humans. If you are planning to purchase Koi fish, it’s important to learn about the fish before you buy.

NATIONAL DAY OF ROCK ‘N’ ROLL

July 7 is National Day of Rock ‘n’ Roll on the National Day Calendar and it’s time to put on your dancing shoes to dance the day away! On National Day of Rock ‘n’ Roll we plan to help you get your groove, starting with when rock ‘n’ roll first hit the charts.

This history of rock ‘n’ roll begins in the late 1930s from African-American music containing combinations of jazz, rhythm and blues, gospel, and country music. By the 1940s, instruments like the saxophone and piano were added to the sound, intensifying the appeal. It wasn’t until the 1950s that rock ‘n’ roll hit the mainstream music scene, causing a social shift in society. National Day of Rock ‘n’ Roll explores the impact this music genre has had throughout history.

Early Years of Rock ‘n’ Roll
When we think of the early years of rock ‘n’ roll we easily see a young Elvis Presley or Chuck Berry on stage performing before impressionable teens. We see images of girls screaming and some crying, too. Why did a music genre have such an impact on young adults and what does it mean today?
