Labor Day History

* Labor Day is a national legal holiday that is over 100 years old.
* Over the years, it has evolved from a purely labor union celebration into a general "last fling of summer" festival.
* It is the first Monday in September, Labor Day has come to be recognized in the U.S. not only as a celebration of the working class, but even more so as the unofficial end of the summer season.
* The Labor Day holiday grew out of a celebration and parade in honor of the working class by the Knights of Labor in 1882 in New York.
* In 1884, the Knights held a large parade in New York City celebrating the working class. The parade was held on the first Monday in September.
* The Knights passed a resolution to hold all future parades on the same day, designated by them as Labor Day.
* Today Americans have barbecues, picnics, parades, give speeches and spend the day with family and friends honoring the working class.

On the chair there are 10 tennis balls. The first player of each team gets the spoon and runs to the chair. There he/she puts a coin on the seat of the chair, picks up a ball with the help of the spoon, runs to his/her team, puts the ball into the packet and passes the spoon to the next player. The team which "buys up" all the balls the first wins the game. Labor Day party supplies will add to your parties theme atmosphere to get everyone as in the party game grove.
