PRINTLabor Day
While Memorial Day is the “official start to summer”, Labor Day has become the “official end”. So, don’t let it go without some rest and relaxation. The first Labor Day was celebrated with parades, picnics and fireworks. Today, Labor Day is celebrated in many different ways but is still a day set aside to appreciate the advancements, freedoms and prosperity our country experiences. Despite any current economic woes, this is still a great country made up of women and men who work hard for their families and as a community help one another.
So, this Labor Day, look around and remember that life is good

If you notice a hole in the upper left-hand corner of your Farmers' Almanac, don't return it to the store! That hole isn't a defect; it's a part of history. Starting with the first edition of the Farmers' Almanac in 1818, readers used to nail holes into the corners to hang it up in their homes, barns, and outhouses (to provide both reading material and toilet paper). In 1910, the Almanac's publishers began pre-drilling holes in the corners to make it even easier for readers to keep all of that invaluable information (and paper) handy.
