FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
February 14, 2022
*** NOTICE OF HOLIDAY CLOSURE ***
Presidents’ Day (Washington’s Birthday)
(Douglas County, Ore.) Douglas County Commissioners Tim Freeman, Chris Boice and Tom Kress would like to remind citizens that government offices in the Douglas County Courthouse, located at 1036 SE Douglas Avenue in Roseburg, as well as the Douglas County Justice Building, Douglas County Courthouse Annex in Reedsport, Douglas County Museum, Douglas County Landfill and Transfer Stations, Douglas County Fairgrounds and All External Douglas County Government Offices will be closed to the public on Monday, February 21, 2022, in observance of Presidents’ Day.
As always, even when Douglas County government offices are closed, many officials and public employees are still working.
Please note these exceptions:
Washington's Birthday is a United States federal holiday celebrated on the third Monday of February, in accordance with the Uniform Federal Holidays Act of 1971, to honor of George Washington, the first President of the United States, who was born on February 22, 1732. The day is now widely referred to as Presidents' Day, and is often an occasion to honor all who have served as president of the Untied States, not just George Washington.
The Douglas County Commissioners understand that some of our holidays will be decidedly different during the ongoing worldwide pandemic, but we hope you will join us in honoring this day, while continuing to make safe and healthy choices, and taking measures to protect those you love in order to keep Douglas County a wonderful place to live, work and play.
