What's Open, Closed in Sayville-Bayport-Blue Point on Martin Luther King Day

Martin Luther King Day, celebrated on the third Monday of January, which is Jan. 20 this year, was initially established by President Ronald Reagan in 1983, but not formally observed until 1986. In the year 2000 all 50 states had taken action to observe the holiday.
