Happy Labor Day Weekend!!
This weekend is the unofficial end of summer and a three day weekend for most folks. Labor Day is Monday, September 3rd.
Labor Day is always the first Monday in September, Labor Day was the idea of Peter J. Maguire, a labor union leader who in 1882 proposed a celebration honoring the American worker. At his suggestion, 10,000 workers held a parade in Union Square, New York City, and followed it with political speeches, fireworks, and a picnic. The date chosen was simply "convenient," according to Maguire, because it was midway between the Fourth of July and Thanksgiving. Although the day's focus on organized labor has diminished over the years, the legal holiday still marks the end of summer and the traditional time for children to return to school.
Be safe and have a fun weekend!!
P.S. Look around the stores, this could also be considered the official start to the Christmas Season!!
