What started in 1882 as a parade for Union workers in New York City spread somewhat rapidly throughout the country until Labor Day became a national holiday in the United States in 1894. That was 115 years ago. Even though summer doesn’t officially end for approximately 15 days, Labor Day weekend has always been associated with the “end” of Summer. For many it’s the last big vacation weekend. Of course, school gets back in session. Football season starts to ramp up and some golfers put their clubs away till Spring.

I know that many of you have been celebrating the Labor Day weekend on the rivers and lakes in your kayaks and fishing boats. Hopefully it has been a safe and enjoyable weekend so far. Happy paddling and a happy Labor Day 2009 from our family to yours.
