What do you know about Pulaski Day?

The city of Chicago celebrated its first official Pulaski Day in 1986. On February 26, 1986,  Mayor Harold Washington introduced a resolution to designate the first Monday in March General Casimir Pulaski Day, and the City Council approved. The Chicago Public Library closes in observance of Pulaski Day but Chicago Public Schools remain open. Pulaski Day stopped being a holiday for Chicago Public Schools in 2012 as a way to increase the number of days in a school year.
