Today is ” National High Five Day ”!

Gimme a high five. As a matter of fact, give everyone you see a High Five!

According to a number of holiday calendars, the third Saturday in April is ‘National High Five Day’. The creation of this special day dates back to 2002. It was created by college students at the University of Virginia. Those students were Conor Lastowka from San Diego, California, Sam Miotke of Corvallis, Oregon, and Wynn Walent of New York City. They celebrated with lemonade and a profusion of High Fives.
The act of giving a "High Five", dates back to 1977, when it was first used during a Basketball game. Their congratulatory gesture caught on rapidly, and has been popular ever since.

It's fun , and easy to celebrate this special day. Give a High Five to everyone you see. This includes friends, family, passersby, and total strangers. The more high fives you give, the better! So be sure to give our waitresses a high five for doing an outstanding job of putting up with us each month!
