LABOR DAY THREE DAY WEEKEND!!!

SHADY WEAR!!




About three months ago, it seemed summer would never get here...now, here we are, nearing the "end of summer", or the "dog days of summer". The weather forecast is good for an excellent three day weekend, with temperatures in the 80's, what a beautiful way to "end" an awesome flea market season!! Just a reminder, Shady Hollow's official last day is Sunday, September 7, so you do have one last chance at getting that bargain!! Shady Hollow will be open Saturday, Sunday and Monday, so whether you choose to come, one, two, or all three days, I'm positive you'll find something that suits your needs!!!

Better late than never, I finally received a shipment of "Shady Wear"!!! You can get yours at my shoppe, KittyKelli's! Stop by and take a look, you might find something to show your support of the flea market over the winter months!! Hoodies and t-shirt in both long and short sleeve varieties! Hopefully in a size and color to fit your fancy!! A limited supply is available!!




And, just when you thought Labor Day weekend was only about summer ending, a little information about the holiday itself! Hope to see you this weekend at the flea! Stop back for more information and sights about what's going on, upcoming dates, etc.!!!

The First Labor Day
The first Labor Day holiday was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York City, in accordance with the plans of the Central Labor Union. The Central Labor Union held its second Labor Day holiday just a year later, on September 5, 1883.

In 1884 the first Monday in September was selected as the holiday, as originally proposed, and the Central Labor Union urged similar organizations in other cities to follow the example of New York and celebrate a "workingmen's holiday" on that date. The idea spread with the growth of labor organizations, and in 1885 Labor Day was celebrated in many industrial centers of the country.
HAPPY LABOR DAY!!!
