Factory Five Closed For Patriot's Day
 
Factory Five will be closed on April 17th as we celebrate Patriot's Day to commemorate the battle of Lexington and Concord which was fought on April 19th, 1775 and is generally considered to be the beginning of the American Revolutionary War. It was the Sons of the American Revolution in Massachusetts  who were largely responsible for the official recognition of the event. In 1969, the third Monday in April was officially designated as Patriot's Day.

Since Factory Five is located so close to Boston, we feel we should take part in remembering this historic event. The link to Boston is a strong one and people come from all over to take part in the reenactments at Lexington and Concord.
