Did you know that Labor Day's origins are in Canada? And that the issue at the forefront of the Great White Northerner's protests was the 58-hour workweek? Wimps.
A newspaper account of the first Labor Day festivities noted; "...speeches, a picnic, an abundance of cigars and, lager beer kegs... mounted in every conceivable place." My kind of holiday! Enjoy the last gasp of summer with a beer of your own.
