Sep 25th: Money Talks & Courage Walks

DayStrider: Nostalgic Tales for Knowledge Seekers

Did you know that courage and resilience is what makes September 25th special? Courage to go where none has gone before and resilience to do so repeatedly when others want you to just . . . go away. This day in the past has it all.

• 500 years ago today in Panama, an amazing discovery took place!
• 70 years ago today in Little Rock, the craziest first day of school ever will shock you!
• Today is One Hit Wonder Day - hear about some of the most fun songs whose artists came and went, but their songs stood the test of time.

If it's a special day for you or for someone you care about, why not learn a little more about today by listening to some fun, engaging tales of the past. You’ll find yourself a little smarter and have some great stories you can tell at the next tailgate function you attend! If you need some great gift ideas, we have those too (along with links to where you can find them on Amazon).

Learn more about today’s events here (these links worked in mid-2024 - not sure how long the links will be available):

• Link to a great collection of Balboa’s adventures
• Link to a more detailed account of the Little Rock 9’s experience

Gift ideas for folks who celebrate September 25th:

• There’s books and decor featuring Vasco Balboa - but wouldn’t it be really cool to actually have some Balboa coins?
• See the crazy pictures of the mob taunting the Little Rock 9 in these books and wall art - it may not be for every type of “collector” or loved one(s).
• Everyone’s version of the One Hit Wonder is different - there are dozens of different collections available.
• Similarly, there are fun gift options to celebrate today’s holidays: Lobster Day and Quesadilla Day.
