(Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend).....Monday we celebrate the birthday of civil rights activist.

It is a federal holiday. Several businesses will be closed on Monday, including the Imperial Irrigation District and the County of Imperial non-emergency departments and agencies. The California Highway Patrol is expected to be in their Holiday patrol mode, and the Imperial Valley Sand Dune Recreational areas are expected to be full of Off-roaders. Many stores, however, will remain open.
