Happy Labor Day Weekend!!!
Did you know...
Labor Day is a United States federal holiday observed on the first Monday in September that celebrates the economic and social contributions of workers. It was first nationally recognized in 1894 to placate unionists following the Pullman Strike. With the decline in union membership, the holiday is generally viewed as a time for barbeques and the end of summer vacations.[1]
Ok I definitely didn’t know all that history behind Labor Day but my memory of Labor Day growing up in NY was my mom who worked fulltime finally had a day off, it also meant a fun bbq, maybe a visit to the beach and lastly you shouldn't wear white after this weekend :)
