The third Monday of February is designated as a celebration of Presidents' Day for Americans to reflect not only on our first U.S. president, George Washington, but also on our nation and its founding fathers, values, and traditions.
4 of our nation's chief executives were born in February - George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, William Henry Harrison, and Ronald Reagan - so this holiday has come to be celebrated in most states in honor of all U.S. Presidents past and present.
Legend has it that George Washington chopped down a cherry tree during his youth and when asked by his father, he said, "I cannot tell a lie. I did it with my hatchet."
Whether you believe this mythical tale is true or not, Happy Presidents' Day...why not celebrate with a nice slice of cherry pie🍒
