Happy Sea Serpent Day! (August 7)
Now here’s a holiday for all ages! Celebrate sea serpents all day today. Try writing a story or a poem with a sea serpent in it. Make up a recipe for sea serpent stew. Use rulers, yardsticks and tape measures to pace out imaginary sea serpents of various sizes. Get artistic and draw a sea serpent. The sky’s the limit, and you can really get your imagination in gear for this party. How could you build a sea serpent or make a sea serpent costume with what you have around the house? Let’s see…some blankets would come in handy, and maybe some rope.

Look! Sea Serpents in Wikipedia!
Here’s a real winner: a Sea Serpent PARTY!
