Quack!
It's National Rubber Duck Day! Quacking at Pat Harkin is a Tradition as old as time, but not everyone knows WHY. Who wants to explain this particular Convention Quack...I mean Quirk?
It's National Milk Day!

It's National Bean Day!

We hope all of you are enjoying the festive break, and are doing all things ending in -olly! From all of us here on the Committee, Happy Hogswatch!
