Birthdays For September 7th + Labor Day

If this is your birthday, congratulations! Also born on this date, Rock & Roll pioneer Buddy Holly, in Lubbock, Texas in 1936. Cohorts Waylon Jennings, Sonny Curtis and Bob Montgomery go on to find success in country music, while Holly's "True Love Ways" becomes a country hit for Mickey Gilley in 1980.  

This Is Labor Day!  

Today is dedicated in honor of the worker, it is also appropriately called the "workingman's holiday". The holiday is dedicated to you in respect and appreciation for the work you do in or outside of the home, union or non-union, big company, small companies, or government. As long as you work somewhere at something, this holiday is for you!

The first Labor Day was held celebrated in New York City on September 5, 1882. Labor Day quickly became popular and one state after another voted it as a holiday. On June 28, 1894, the U.S. congress voted it a national holiday.

Traditionally, this day is celebrated with a day off and union sponsored parades. Many people celebrate this weekend with one last picnic. It is also the date that many people close up the pool, and put away the boats.

Now Let's P-A-R-T-Y!
