How to Plan a Frugal Labor Day Picnic

Labor day began on September 5, 1982 in New York City. It was originally celebrated as a working man's holiday. In our home, Labor Day is usually our last ditch effort to hold a family get-together. It's our way of saying Goodbye to summer and hello to the busy school season that's about to hit us. Since it's supposed to be a working womans holiday, I prefer to keep it as simple as possible!
