When the spring hay was ready to be brought in the schools would take a few days off. I guess so many students would be absent that it made more sense to make it official and extend the school year by a few days than to have the low attendance.
Heh that reminds me of my second high school. The opening of deer season was a school holiday, since so many people hunted.
