7 January is National Bobblehead Day and is celebrated annually. This day was created in celebration of all the popular spring-connected head bobbing figurines.
Bobbleheads have been around for more than 100 years and they come in a variety of shapes and sizes. However, the most popular bobbleheads are those depicting athletes, professional sports teams, mascots, cartoon characters and celebrities.
On 18 November 2014 it was announced that a National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum will be opened in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 2016. The museum will host the world’s largest collection of bobbleheads, a hall of fame section for the best bobbleheads, a variety of exhibits relating to the history and making of bobbleheads and much more.
The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum requested a day to be designate to the observation of National Bobblehead Day in December 2014.
