Riker and Troi watch on, as Picard chooses a winner
"Wouldn't you agree, Number One?"
Captain Picard Day was an annual event held aboard the USS Enterprise-D for the ship's schoolchildren. Activities included a contest, judged by Captain Jean-Luc Picard himself, in which the children created paintings and models of the captain. The event was a favorite of the children, who looked forward to it all year, but Picard did not share their enthusiasm; he was not good with children and uncomfortable with the hero worship that the holiday encouraged in them.
In 2370, a seven-year-old named Paul Menegay won the contest with an orange clay sculpture of the captain's head. Much to Picard's dismay, Commander Riker took great pleasure in the proceedings. For revenge, Picard arranged to have a "Commander Riker Day" the following month and planned to enter the competition himself. (TNG: "The Pegasus")
