Have Some Fun This Labor Day

Even though it may not feel like it quite yet, Labor Day marks the unofficial end of summer. It’s the last major warm-weather holiday of the year. With the current Covid-19 pandemic still affecting many parts of the country, things may be a little different this year, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy that precious three-day weekend.

It might be your last chance of the year to enjoy water parks, county fairs and many of the other fleeting summer attractions. You may even be able to do so for less money than you expect since the hospitality and travel industries know Labor Day is the last big bash of summer and will frequently offer travel discounts. There is also Covid-19 to consider. You don’t have to let Coronavirus derail your plans, but it’s a good idea to check the times and availability of the attractions you want to go to, and if you do go, be sure to take the proper precautions.  

Of course if travel just isn’t in the cards for you this year, there are still plenty of ways to stay home and enjoy yourself. Why not a backyard barbeque? Check out some of these great recipes from Food Network. After all, staying home doesn’t mean you have to go hungry.

How did we get this great three-day weekend in the first place? If you’re into history, the weekend might be a great chance to visit museums, either virtually or in-person, and check out the true history of Labor Day and the contributions of generations of American workers who made it possible. To help get you started, here are some Labor Day facts. 

The Covid-19 pandemic may have upended 2020, but Labor Day is a great holiday at just the right time. The searing summer temperatures have loosened their grip on many parts of the country and the sky is a perfect shade of sapphire blue. 

Go out or stay home and enjoy. Just don’t let it pass you by!
