Events, projects, and foods to celebrate President's Day

	Bake a cherry pie. Or just eat one. Washington may not ever have chopped down that cherry tree, but why waste a good story—and a chance to eat great pie?
	Attend the Birthnight Ball in Alexandria, Va. (see link below). In British tradition, the birthday of the ruling monarch was celebrated with a ball. After the Revolution, George Washington’s birthday was celebrated with a Birthnight Ball for several years, and the tradition lives on in Alexandria's Gadsby's Tavern Museum, with costumed actors, a period-inspired meal, and 18th-century-style dancing in the historic ballroom.
	Celebrate at the oldest and largest Washington Birthday Celebration in the world. It’s held for a whole month each year in Laredo, Texas.
	Read the Gettysburg Address in the quiet of your home (see link below), or volunteer to read the Gettysburg Address at a celebration. Then read more of Lincoln’s writing. Lincoln was a powerful writer and orator.
	Visit the Lincoln Memorial and Ford’s Theater in Washington, D.C. Take a tour of the Capitol and visit some of the other sites associated with Abraham Lincoln.
	Visit a Civil War battlefield. Gettysburg is the most well-known, but there are many other national monuments that honor the soldiers who died during the Civil War.
	Make a Lincoln penny pendant (see link below). Wear it to celebrate Lincoln’s birthday.
	Hold a Presidents Day coloring contest at your place of business. Award prizes to the winners.
	Browse the virtual museum or view the video archives at C-SPAN’s "American Presidents" series at the American Presidents Web site.
	Read the inaugural addresses of all the presidents.
	Hold a "Favorite Presidents Election" in your classroom or place of business.
