I defiantly plan to invite people over to Grill. Does anyone else have interesting plans?

FYI, we are making this a holiday.

I'll be reading up on the holiday in order to properly understand it.

Well it's a very inclusive holiday. Literaly anyone can celebrate it except the British. If you are British and we catch you celebrating it you are likely to get tossed into a harbor.

It's like 4th of July except a little more focus on history and the revolutionary war specifically.

One more traditional event. Brit tossing. Brits who are good sports compete to see how far a crowd of people can toss them into a harbor.

About this sub

Treaty of Paris Day, or Top Day, celebrates the winning of US independence and the end of the American Revolutionary War on Sept. 3, 1783.

It is a day of both historical and seasonal significance, recognizing the coming of fall just as our forefathers would have on that day they succeeding officially in asserting their independence from Britain.

On this day, we celebrate with a light meal — preferably grilled so as to enjoy the great weather as the season changes from summer to fall — and a seasonally-themed dessert. Pumpkin pie, apple pie, or trifle are good traditional examples, but there is no limit to what you can do. (There may even be a little friendly competition over who can make the Top dessert).

This is the day to start your homemade hooch — be it apple cider, beer, wine, mead, or infused spirit. Another activity is decorating hard boiled eggs as Humpty Dumpty (memeing King George III). Homesteading activities such as soapmaking or canning are also great ways to celebrate.

Football is permissible, but don't make it the center of the day. This is about heritage and history. And dessert.
