February Holidays and Observances

Valentine's Day is certainly the most notable holiday in February. Falling on Monday, February 14th this year, Valentine's Day is a day set aside to show those you love that you care about them. Flowers, chocolates and cards are top gifts given and received this day. No matter how you choose to do so, we hope you show those you care about a little extra love today!
Tuesday, February 15th is Susan B. Anthony’s Birthday. Susan B. Anthony was a champion for equality. While probably most well known for her role in the women's suffrage movement, she was a strong supporter of equal rights and opportunities for all and played active roles in the movements for abolition, the rights of labor, and equal pay for equal work.
On Monday, February 21st we are celebrating many historic figures. This year, we are not only celebrating Presidents' Day. Presidents' Day began as a celebration of George Washington's birthday which fell on February 22nd but was moved to the third Monday of February in 1971 as part of the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, an attempt at creating more 3-day weekends for the nation’s workers. Presidents' Day is now a day of patriotic celebration and remembrance.
