Sadie Hawkins Day When: Always on November 13 Here is a holiday
that originated from a cartoon. It all began in Al Capp's "Lil
Abner Cartoon in the 1930's. In the cartoon series, the mayor of
Dogpatch was desperate to marry off his ugly daughter. So he
created Sadie Hawkin's Day. On this day, a race is held and all the
single men were given a short head start. If a woman catches her
man, he had to marry her. Sadie Hawkins Day races and events grew
in popularity during the course of All Capp's long running cartoon.
This cartoon made holiday largely died out after 40 years when the
cartoon was discontinued. It can occasionally be seen celebrated on
college campuses.
