Labor Day 2017

long holiday weekend

Although I shared the following information last year, I think it’s very much worth sharing again.

Labor Day has been celebrated as a national holiday paying tribute to working men and women in the United States and Canada since 1894.

The first Labor Day parade occurred 5 September 1882, in New York City.  The workers' unions chose the first Monday in September because it was halfway between Independence Day in July and Thanksgiving in November.

Some states designated Labor Day as a holiday before President Grover Cleveland signed a law designating the first Monday in September as the federal holiday known as Labor Day nationwide.
If you want to know more about Labor Day in the United States…what it means, where it originated, etc., this article http://www.dol.gov/laborday/history.htm has a lot of good information.

safe and happy labor day 2

  1. How nice to see something other than the Hallmark version of a holiday we celebrate every year but other than shoe sales and a "no white after Labor Day" guidelines, not much out there.

    1. Happy you enjoyed it, Amy...I think it's very important to acknowledge those who have fought so that we have the freedoms we have. Too much of our history is being lost or whitewashed. :(

      Hugs and blessings...Cat
