State Office Closed
2024-02-19
The Farm Bureau state office is closed for President’s Day. Presidents’ Day is celebrated on a Monday to create a long weekend for federal employees. The holiday has been celebrated on a Monday since 1971 when the US Congress established the Uniform Monday Holiday Act. The act moved three federal holidays from their original dates to a Monday: Washington’s Birthday (originally February 22), Memorial Day (originally May 30), and Veterans Day (originally November 11, and moved back to that date in 1978). — ( https://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/us/washington-birthday )
