Friday Feb 29. 6:00pm Grey Lodge Georgian & Revised Julian Calendar Promo!

The name says it all...come celebrate having an extra day to drink...and it's a Friday...Yippee! There will be beer and leap year goodies galore. And here's some leap year facts before you come - you never know when some trivia might pop up.

The Revised Julian calendar adds an extra day to February in years divisible by four, except for years divisible by 100 that do not leave a remainder of 200 or 600 when divided by 900. This rule agrees with the rule for the Gregorian calendar until 2799. The first year that dates in the Revised Julian calendar will not agree with those in the Gregorian calendar will be 2800, because it will be a leap year in the Gregorian calendar but not in the Revised Julian calendar.

This rule gives an average year length of 365.242222… days. This is a very good approximation to the mean tropical year, but because the vernal equinox year is slightly longer, the Revised Julian calendar does not do as good a job as the Gregorian calendar of keeping the vernal equinox on or close to 21 March.
