September 2nd is Bison-Tell-Yell Day

On September 2 celebrate the 200th anniversary of any imaginary character of your choosing because it is Bison-Tell-Yell Day.

Don't get it? It has nothing to do with bison except for the name. Read Bison-Ten-Yell Day out fast and it sounds like bicentennial day. The origins of this unofficial day are unknown.

How to Celebrate?
If you need an excuse for a celebration, today is it. Make up a character or happy event and celebrate its bicentennial on this day. You could even make up a story around the character and have a contest among your guests - whoever comes up with the best and the most historically correct story will win!

Since the day has bison in its name, what about spending some time to learn about bison and their environment?

Did You Know…
…that despite their size, bisons can run very fast? They can gain speeds up to 65 km/h (40 mph).
