I've noted state holidays and Canadian national holidays for each schedule where appropriate. For instance, the PCL, for a long time, observed California Admission Day (September 9) by scheduling double-headers for that date, just as it scheduled double-headers for each of the other summer holidays. Southern states, especially pre-1941, often observed Confederate Memorial Day rather than Decoration Day, or else observed both. It's easy enough to factor in those holidays, since they fall on specific dates. Dominion Day/Canada Day, for instance, is always three days before Independence Day.
