Have you ever noticed that it tends to rain on special events? We’ve all likely had plans for a special day outdoors, woke up, and…rain. Well, one farmer in Pennsylvania once complained to his local pharmacist that it seemed to rain every year on his birthday. From that year on, that pharmacist decided to keep track of whether it rained on July 29, and eventually that tradition turned into a beloved local festival in Waynesburg, Pennsylvania.
