Retail, restaurants, entertainment industry (DJs, party/moonbounce events), car dealers will all be working on July 3.Even July 4! And they will be way too busy to "network".

But "regular office jobs"? No, not a chance.

Absolutely not! People will travel most.of that week, definitely Thursday and Friday. You could possibly do Monday or Tuesday.

Thursday? Just not Friday for a work HH.


Don't suggest Thursday either. That's essentially the "Friday" for that week since Friday is a federal holiday. Suggest Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday.
