Memorial Day Weekend
Memorial Day Weekend

As Memorial Day weekend approaches, we are reminded of the numerous sacrifices made by our nation’s heroes. Memorial Day is always observed on the last Monday of May. The holiday originated in 1868 and was formerly known as Decoration Day. It wasn’t until 1971 that it received its name change and was officially recognized as a federal holiday. Memorial Day stands as a day of remembrance for all those who have lost their lives serving in our nation’s armed forces.

For many, this three-day weekend is considered the unofficial start of Summer. Memorial Day in Indiana is often celebrated through barbecues, outdoor games and the Indianapolis 500. You can find most Hoosiers spending time with family and friends, surrounded by good food and a weekend full of relaxation.

Memorial Day Weekend Office Hours

In honor of the holiday, Storage Solutions will be closed Monday, May 27th. Normal business hours will then resume on Tuesday, May 28th. For those of you celebrating the holiday, we wish you a relaxing, and enjoyable Memorial Day weekend!

Memorial Day Indy 500

Between family BBQ’s, pools opening, and days spent boating, many think of Memorial Day as the unofficial start to summer. For Hoosiers and race fans all over the world it means one thing, The Indianapolis 500.

This year marks the 102nd running of the Indianapolis 500. The race will take place on Sunday, May 27 with festivities starting at 8 am. Kelly Clarkson will sing the National Anthem, then the greatest feeling for race fans around the nation begins and the excitement builds. A voice echoes through the track, “Drivers Start Your Engines”.

Following the engine starting, Indiana Pacers’ very own star, Victor Oladipo, will lead the drivers in the pace car. You can find the Indianapolis 500 event schedule here.

More importantly, we use this weekend to remember and honor fallen soldiers, as well as soldiers at home and abroad.
