Memorial Day Means Closings

While some of the nation will be working Monday on the Memorial Day holiday, several businesses won’t be – and it’s important to know for advance planning.

Banks will be closed Monday, so get any necessary transactions done today or tomorrow.

Some pharmacies will be closed. That means it’s a good time to check and see if you need any important refills before Tuesday.

In addition, the federal holiday usually means that city, county, state and federal government offices are closed. Ditto with courts. The same goes for libraries and post offices.

It also means no edition of your favorite newspaper. But no worries, we’ll be back to our usual antics on Wednesday.

There may be some businesses that are closed and others with different, adjusted hours. We encourage you to check today if something is important.

From all of us at Sagamore News Media, we hope you have a safe and happy Memorial Day. And a special thank you and remembrance to those who served – and especially to those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
