Come As Thou Art Memphis Brooks Museum of Art Friday, October 18, 8 p.m. – 11:45 p.m. Friday is Sweetest Day, a totally made-up holiday — side note: Aren’t all holidays made up? — but this one was made up for the sole purpose of selling more candy. Story goes that 12 Cleveland confectioners gathered together and plotted out the whole darn thing in the 1920s. The sentiment was nice enough; they distributed over 20,000 boxes of candy to “newsboys, orphans, old folks, and the poor” to encourage people to buy from them and give candy to their loved ones (like Valentine’s Day 2.0). Pretty sweet, right?
