Happy Weekend !
As Labor Day approaches, I thought it would be fun to share some cool facts about this holiday that you can impress your friends with at your BBQ.
Whether you're grilling up a feast or just relaxing with family, these tidbits will add some spice to your celebration!
1. The Origins of Labor Day
Did you know that Labor Day was first celebrated on September 5, 1882, in New York City? It started with a parade of 10,000 workers organized by the Central Labor Union, marking the beginning of a national movement to honor the American workforce.
2. Beer Bonanza
Labor Day weekend is a huge time for beer lovers! It’s estimated that Americans will enjoy around 68 million cases of beer over the holiday weekend. So, if you're cracking open a cold one, you're definitely not alone!
3. Boating and Camping Adventures
Labor Day isn’t just about BBQs—it’s also a top weekend for outdoor fun. Over 14 million Americans take to the water for boating, and more than 8 million go camping, soaking in the last bit of summer sunshine.
4. Travel Extravaganza
Planning to hit the road? You’re in good company. About 35 million people travel more than 50 miles from home during Labor Day weekend, making it one of the busiest travel periods of the year.
5. Back-to-School Shopping
While you're enjoying the long weekend, many families are also preparing for the new school year. Labor Day is the second-largest shopping period of the year, with parents picking up last-minute supplies and clothes for their kids.
