IMPORTANT MESSSAGE FROM LFD
The Town Office will be closed On Monday September 1st, 2025 for Labor Day. Enjoy your family, camping or what ever you choose to do. See you Tuesday. WAIT what is Labor Day anyway......
Labor Day, observed on the first Monday of September, is a U.S. federal holiday that honors the social and economic achievements of American workers. It also marks the unofficial end of summer for many.
The holiday has its roots in the late 19th century labor movement, which pushed for a day to recognize the contributions of workers to the country's strength, prosperity, and well-being. The first Labor Day was celebrated in New York City in 1882, organized by the Central Labor Union. It involved a parade and other festivities, and quickly spread to other cities and states. By 1894, it became a federal holiday.
Beyond its historical significance, Labor Day is also a time for:
Recognizing workers' rights:
.
The holiday serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for fair labor practices, including reasonable hours, fair wages, and safe working conditions.
Celebrating the end of summer:

For many, Labor Day is the last chance for summer activities like barbecues, beach trips, and outdoor gatherings before the fall season begins.
Community and family:
.
Labor Day is often a time for parades, picnics, and other community events, fostering a sense of togetherness and celebration.
Retail sales:
.
Many retailers offer significant discounts and promotions during the Labor Day weekend, making it a popular time for shopping.
