On this day in history

Hi! I’d like to put an item called “On this day in history” on my blog. I have an Excel spreadsheet with the events and dates. Does anyone know if there’s a plugin (or could someone suggest code…) that will select events by month and day (but not year) and then show up the events that correspond? I don’t mean posts that were submitted on a certain day – I know there’s a plugin for that.

Thanks for any help…
