Sadie Hawkins Day: 4 (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.)
