What's Open, Closed On Memorial Day In Montgomery County

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, MD — The three-day Memorial Day weekend serves as a time when Americans officially pay our respect to veterans who've made the ultimate sacrifice serving this country. We also use this time to kick back, fire up the grill and enjoy laughs and catch up with our friends and loved ones.

And if you think the men and women responsible for operating non-emergency functions of government won't take advantage of this unofficial start of the summer season, then you were sorely mistaken.
