MAY 3, 25.. FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH.. SOME TID-BITS..
NATIONAL TODAY is a big help to me as I attempt to come up with something of interest here on dotnet.
However, we attempt to only use NATIONAL TODAY Holidays when it has Holidays that we personally relate to.
Today NATIONAL TODAY had 48 Holidays.
Basically, out of 48 holidays, only one even vaguely aroused my interest and only because a long-ago friend looked forward to this, the first Saturday in the month of May, all year long.

At the very bottom of the Holidays for May the 3rd we found the below!
THE KENTUCKY DERBY..
Jack Herndon, a best friend who passed away over 20 years ago in 2002 was a Horse Racing Fanatic. At one time, Jack withdrew all of his retirement account money and for three solid years, basically all Jack did was to “Play The Horses”. Yes Oh Yes he lost his money and returned to working full time.
The Kentucky Derby, is held every first Saturday in May and falls on May 3 this year. On the face of it, the Kentucky Derby is just a horse race, however, it has gained legions of fans over the past 147 years that it has been running! As one of America’s oldest sports, the Kentucky Derby is also known as the ‘Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports’. Spectators wear the most elaborate and unique outfits and indulge in a drink of mint julep. The winners of the race are awarded a trophy and prize money, as well as a huge garland of roses that weighs approximately 40 lbs!
