This year I am posting about the fun National Weeks throughout the year. It's time to get naked this week so we can celebrate National Nude Recreation Week!
We have been experiencing some extremely hot temperatures around here lately making this the perfect time of year for this celebration.
I did a little digging for the history of this holiday and thought I would share some my finds.
In 1975, Lee Baxandall and some friends created a support group called, Free the Free Beach Committee. One of their first events was a nude beach celebration. Thousands of supporters came out and there were no arrests made (maybe people are much more peaceful when they are nude?). In 1976 they designated August 7 as National Nude Beach Day. With this being a success, they moved on to designate the third weekend in July as National Nude Weekend. This weekend nudity was eventually extended to a week-long celebration in 1992.
*Nudity is a great way to shed stress, along with your clothing
*There are about 225,000 naturists in North America
Naturists are people who practice naturalism, in other words, nudity.
How to participate?
There are plenty of clothing optional clubs around the country offering activities all week long.

I would use your discretion if posting to social media. Oh, yea, and don't forget to wear sunscreen!
Will you be celebrating this week?
