Happy Birthday, Montgomery County

Sorry to be a day late. I was at the convention of the National Association of Parliamentarians that ended today.

September 6 --- or October 1 --- is the birthdate of Montgomery County, Maryland. 

On September 6, 1776, our state's Constitutional Convention voted to create our county, carving it out of Frederick County. That action became effective on October 1, 1776. So we can celebrate either September 6 or October 1, or both, as our County birthday.

Happy MoCo birthday!
