Happy Friday and happy Labor Day weekend! Labor Day was established to honor the hard work and achievements of American workers. It originated in the late 19th century during a time of growing labor movements advocating for fair wages, safe working conditions, and reasonable hours. Today, it not only pays tribute to those efforts but also marks the unofficial end of summer and the beginning of the fall season. We hope you enjoy a day of rest, barbecues, and time with family!
