What’s Open and Closed On Presidents Day?
In case you didn't know, Monday, Feb. 19 is Presidents Day this year. Every year it is observed on the third Monday of February. (Remember when we used to celebrate Lincoln's Birthday and Washington's Birthday separately a few weeks apart?) Now we can just honor all presidents, past, and present on one day.
