It's 4 weekends a year. That's why the expo and registration is at the ESPN Sports Complex. But the charm is running in the parks, hence start and finish lines at them.
Only problem with that different races take place and start in different parks and areas so it probably would not work or serve much of a purpose. The after parties also usually take place in the parks and people participate just to do those parties after hours in the parks etc for some of them like tonight's race. And the one at night Hollywood studios does.
Seeing as a parking lot and temporary structures now suffice, the requirements at even multiple areas would obviously not be overly great.
No most schools including college are not off for Veterans Day. Have never seen schools in my state and surrounding areas off for the Veterans Day Federal Holiday. Yes government offices some are closed but some are actually still open locally. Also most banks are still open on Veteran's Day as well. It's actually one of the least closed places federal holidays all year. Hope that last sentence made sense. Lol
Oh, my gosh! You are kidding?!? Here in California, and the West Coast in general, all public schools and all public colleges are closed on Veterans Day. Most private schools here also follow that format.
I'm sorry to hear you live in a part of the country that doesn't value the service our nation's veterans have given us. May I ask which state that is?
.. Most of the southern states including Florida follow the same, with schools not being off for Veteran's Day. I edited the bank part being open most of ours are closed but I know I have seen some still open.
Louisiana
Schools definately are not closed public and colleges at least. Don't know about the private schools.
And it's not just Louisiana like I mentioned if you look at even Florida, Mississippi, etc most schools are not out. Yes a lot of our government offices are closed like yours but no not schools.
If you look above I edited my post to add that the schools talk about and recognize it by having special programs etc all week or that day. We knew the importance and were taught about the day but growing up I was never off of school for it either and I'm 35 so it's been that way a long time for a lot of the south.
Looks like East Coast schools aren't out in a lot of areas as well like New Jersey. They get time from schools off known as "Jersey Week" in Disney world right before Halloween so I can see why no extra day is off for Veterans Day possibly. Bottom line from researching briefly looks like the majority of states outside of the western states do not give public schools off for Veteran's Day and most colleges don't close. As long as the students are taught about the importance of the Day I see no harm in them staying open.
This. I'm in Texas.If you look above I edited my post to add that the schools talk about and recognize it by having special programs etc all week or that day. We knew the importance and were taught about the day but growing up I was never off of school for it either and I'm 35 so it's been that way a long time for a lot of the south.
Editing your post then asking a person to re read it seems a bit pointless, IMO.
