Labor Day 2020 has arrived … Ever think about why we celebrate? “Labor Day pays tribute to the contributions and achievements of American workers and is traditionally observed on the first Monday in September.

Labor Day weekend also symbolizes the end of summer for many Americans, and is celebrated with parties, street parades and athletic events.”

Looking forward to the NFL season, with eyes on the Tennessee Titans … and Larrell Murchison…

A reminder, the Annual Elizabethtown Sidewalk Sale continues today … Too good to miss.
