Bon Voyage To Summer

It’s Labor Day Once Again -
Did you know that this national legal holiday is over 100 hundred years old? Throughout this time period, Labor Day has evolved from a labor union celebration to the “final fling of summer” party.

In the late 1800’s, a parade began in New York to honor the working class. Today, employed or unemployed, Spartan’s from all over New England will be celebrating from Natick, and as far north as Maine. It wil be a day of eating, drinking, volleyball, bad singing, as well as just being a “merry” Spartan.

Labor day reminds us that the cool days of fall are fast approaching. In just 6 short days the NFL season opens up. Back to long pants, sweaters, and spending your retirement money on home heating bills as well as gambling away each week on your favorite NFL team.

Due to the chilly temps, I can’t say it’s this Spartan’s favorite time of year, but there’s not much that I can do except for move to Aruba.
