Sadie Hawkins Day: 7 (See Note
Below) Link
(Always First Saturday.
This is what Chase's Calendar put and so I stuck with that formula for this
observance. But, a Sadie Hawkins Dance can be held anytime a school or
someone wants to have one.
Also, some call Leap Year Day - Feb. 29
as Sadie Hawkins Day also because tradition states that women can ask the men
to marry them on that day. To me, Leap Year Day is not Sadie Hawkins
Day and they are two separate observances. Asking a guy to a dance is different
than asking him to marry you.
Although...in the cartoon strip, once
the single gals caught their guys in the annual footrace, the men were forced
to marry the gal that caught them aka a shotgun wedding per se. ;) Hope
this helps to clarify things a bit.)
