September Fun Facts!
The King's Port Inn would like to wish everybody a happy September! The summer may be over, but September is a great month in Maine. The weather is good, the sun is shining and there many activities going on in town. We hope you get a chance to enjoy yourselves. We wanted to present some fun facts about the month of September:
1. September marks the beginning of the autumn in the Northern hemisphere. The name comes from the Latin word "septem", which means seven, since this was the seventh month of the Roman calendar. The month was named during a time when the calendar year began with March. There are 30 days in the month of September.
2. September has three birth flowers: the forget-me-not, the morning glory and the aster. Forget-me-nots represent love and memories, asters represent love as well, and the morning glory represents unrequited love. These are all very passionate flowers.
3. The birth stone for the month is the sapphire.
4. There are several holidays in the month of September, most notably Labor Day, which is observed every year on the first Monday in September. There is also Native American Day, which is celebrated on the 4th Friday of September. And Grandparent's Day, which is observed on the first Sunday following Labor Day.
5. The poem "Mary had a Little Lamb" was published on September 1st, 1830.
6. The Great Fire of London occurred on September 1st, 1666.
