		Search results take a few seconds and open in a new window. May need to allow Pop Ups to see results.

All our holidays are validated with sponsors or organizations.
We do not have holidays for every single day of the year. Sites that do, IMHO are making days up. Beware!
Also, some observances that are validated through website links, can't be updated until their websites update their 2009 information.

Visiting us is free! Our Holiday information is free. We have always paid all costs and remained ad free as well.

October 09 Moon Phases	4 Full Moon 2:10 am EST	11 Last Qtr. 4:56 am EST
	18 New Moon 1:33 am EST	25 1st Qtr. 8:42 pm EST

Full Moon on the 4th is called "Hunter's Moon" by Native Americans of New England and the Great Lakes because at this time of the year the deer are fattened and it's time to hunt (as well as many other animals.) Since all the crops are harvested, it's now time to gather food by hunting animals.
