The Third Saturday In October Is Declared As The Sweetest Day!

NEW YORK, Oct. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Sweetest Day is often known to be a twin of the Valentine's Day but did you know that it is a day which celebrates love in its highest form? It is a day for compassion, service and kindness besides sending cards, chocolates, candies, flowers and goodies to your special someone.

Sweetest Day movement accelerated in 1922 when a candy store employee in Cleveland, Ohio, named Herbert Birch Kingston distributed candies and sweets to many orphanages and hospitals in the area as a gesture of care and concern for the less fortunate. It was much appreciated and the American holiday stands as a reminder that love is in giving and expressing in kind words and deeds. In 1930s, many celebrities participated in the work. Ann Pennington distributed candy to 2,200 Cleveland newspaper boys, and Theda Bara gave candy to theater-goers and patients in Cleveland hospitals.
