National Hugging Day is an annual event dedicated to hugging. It was created by Kevin Zaborney and occurs annually on January 21st. The day was first celebrated on January 21, 1986 in Clio, Michigan, USA. The holiday is also observed in many other countries. The idea of National Hug Day is to encourage everyone to hug family and friends more often.[Zaborney cautions to ask first if one is unsure of the response.

Kevin Zaborney is credited with coming up with the idea of National Hugging Day in 1986. It was included in Chase's Calendar of Events; Zaborney's friend at the time was the granddaughter of the proprietors of the publication. He chose January 21st as it fell between the Christmas and New Year's Holidays and Valentine's Day and birthdays when he found people are generally in low spirits. Zaborney considered that "American society is embarrassed to show feelings in public" and hoped that a National Hugging Day would change that, although he thought that his idea would fail.

No purchase is required once you enter the establishment. So come as you are, alone or with a sweetheart,  and have an enjoyable evening with friends. Word puzzles will be provided at each table for you to enjoy and an area to trade trackables.  Wheelchair accessible. **Note the alloted time above.  

As this is always an iffy month for events stay tuned in for updates due to weather cancellations.
