The first Monday in September!

Labor Day!

Labor Day is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.

Traditionally, Labor Day is celebrated by most Americans as the symbolic end of the summer. The holiday is often regarded as a day of rest and parties.

For our family and our little town.....
Labor Day means it's time for a weekend of food, festivals and fun!
A celebration indeed!
 

Hooray for the prosperity of the people! 
Farewell to Summer!
I hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend!

  2. What a great community you live in!
    Did this festival go on all weekend or just Labor Day?
    I will gladly pass "The Help" your way if you like after I'm done with it? Or did you want Little Bee? I have heard from several people that The Help is really good...but it's kind of a big book....might take me awhile!! Let me know!

  9. We had a great weekend, but no parades. As for the running. I tried and my knee has put its foot down. I fell at the beginning of August. Actually hurtled full force onto my knees before our holiday. It wasn't pretty. Funny... after everyone realized I wasn't dead. But I am going to have to downgrade to walking. I've always had "bad knees" partly due to genetics and then a skiing fall that was a doozy. Anyway. Just wanted to let you know.
