I must say I'd never heard the legend that President George Washington was a "dance master" as the editor puts it here. But I'm sure, dancing notwithstanding, that there had to be SOME patriotic occurrence that commemorated the day. If not, the traditions were certainly resurrected in subsequent years as evidenced by the great record of oratories, pageants, and other events to honor the father of our country.
