Labor Day - A Working Man's Holiday Published August 30, 2007
by
The first Labor Day holiday was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York City. In 1884 the first Monday in September was chosen as the holiday, and the Central Labor Union urged similar organizations in other cities to follow the example of New York and celebrate a "workingman's holiday" on that date. The idea spread with the growth of labor organizations, and in 1885 Labor Day was celebrated in many industrial centers of the country.
Through the years the nation began to give more and more emphasis to Labor Day. The first governmental recognition came through municipal ordinances passed during 1885 and 1886. From them developed the movement to secure state legislation. The first state bill was introduced into the New York legislature, but the first to become law was passed |

If you're not all that fond of "The Great Outdoors", how about set up a camping experience indoors! Turn off the TV, set up the "tent" and get ready to make memories.
You can use a real tent for your sleeping quarters, or create one of your own! A couple chairs and some large sheets or blankets are all you need to create the illusion of a tent. Grab a couple flashlights and books, tell some ghost stories, make shadow puppets and enjoy some one-on-one time with the kids.
What about the campfire, you ask? Below is a fun craft that is perfect for pretend play! Some toilet paper rolls, cotton balls and tissue paper make for a realistic mini campfire you can sit around to make your camp out even more fun!
