This all sounds good. But I really think a general PublicHoliday event would
be the way to go.

Hawaii isn't a special case .. the same functionality would be needed here
in Australia. We all celebrate Australia Day on Jan 26th, but some states
take a holiday on Monday if the 26th is on the weekend. Then there's Labour
Day: Every state seems to celebrate it on a different day!

Cheers!
