A holiday for the Maine and Massachusetts folks, celebrating the battle between the militia, and the British army at Concord and Lexington, an important event towards the freedom of our country.
 
You had me worried for a minute there. I thought football was back and therefore summer was almost over. :giggle:

Actually, in Maine there is no celebration now, might have been in the past, pretty much forgotten holiday. Schools closed, businesses and such. I think Mass may celebrate it more. Of course they have the marathon. Probably some reenactments too over in Concord or Lexington.

Yeah and nowadays when we ask you for help, the best you can do is to send over a couple of Coleman canoes! :lol: *Ducking*
