Happy Native American Genocide Day, Blame-America-First crowd! John Oliver and Last Week Tonight have this happy little video asking the important question: How is Columbus Day still a thing?

Nevada doesn't celebrate Columbus Day - the state opted to declare the date of Nevada's admission to the Union (October 31st, but celebrated the last Friday of the month) a state holiday instead. So while we acknowledge the day exists, it's basically treated the same as Arbor Day or Groundhog Day.
I used to make ice cream for a local shop. Every year, people went nuts asking for pumpkin sometime before Halloween, and we couldn't give the stuff away after Thanksgiving.
