History of Take A Wild Guess Day
Take a Wild Guess Day began back in 2010 by Jim Barber, a professional speaker. He had an extensive history in helping audio projects and numerous organizations in hosting worldwide events. Barber originally was a technical trainer on computer software.
He later became a voice talent and used his voice to bring excitement and fun into the world. Take a Wild Guess Day became one of the many achievements under his belt. The idea for this holiday began from him noticing that this day is also Tax Returns Day. From his observation, that many people tend to guess when it comes to filling out their federal tax forms.
He initially thought of calling the holiday That Guess Is Fine Day, but because the holiday name was already taken, he chose the second best name. This was Take A Wild Guess Day, and the holiday since then has become an enormous success.
