Hey Jersey Shore...Do YOU wear white after Labor Day?

Labor Day began September 5, 1882 and became a federal holiday in 1894, when, following the deaths of workers by the hands of U.S. military and U.S. Marshals during the Pullman Strike, President Grover Cleveland made it priority to make ammends with the workers of this great Country. Legislation making Labor Day a national holiday was pushed right through Congress unanimously and signed into law after only six days from the end of the strike. 

Thanks to the LABOR MOVEMENT... this weekend at the Jersey Shore for most will be beach, boardwalk, picnics, barbecues, fireworks displays, water sports, sporting tournaments and public events while families with school-age children take it as the last chance for "summer" before the end of the season recess. The younger population sometimes looks at it as the final hurrah for shindigs before returning to school. For the locals, it marks the beginning of the end as they bid farewell to the Benny and flock to the beaches & boards in September and October.

Possibly the strangest thing that Labor Day marks is for the ladies it's the last day of the year when it is fashionable to wear white.

Whether you are a visitor here or just a local yocal act responsibly this weekend, have a good time, and remember the worker...the people who built the U.S.A.
