I think the comments people left on this article were more informative than the article itself. I have read several member-written articles that happened to give great information about the labor movement, various activities (not listed here), and the transition from summer to fall... c'mon guys, lets get creative!

I read this article thinking perhaps I might learn something or hear a new idea. No, it was stuff I already knew. The activites listed here are things you can do anytime. I know I can relax and read a book. I can do that anytime, I don't need a holiday to do this. Also, I would avoid the beach on Labor Day. Why not go to the beach another day? In southern California, it will still be warm enough to go to the beach after Labor Day.
