This weekend is Labor Day Weekend!

It’s the 144th year since it was first held in America. And the 132nd year since it became a federal holiday.

Most associate the holiday weekend with the end of Summer. But do you know why this date, the 1st Monday of September, was chosen?

The two most common reasons given for the date aren’t what you might expect. The first reason, it’s a politically neutral date. And the second reason, someone thought a holiday between the long calendar stretch from July 4th until Thanksgiving would be a good idea. Hard to argue with that!

We at Tahoe Fence appreciate the hard work and effort of those that labor in our industry, and everywhere else in our community. We understand the commitment and sacrifice it takes to have pride in your work, and the struggle to earn a living.

Now that the Summer season is over, and there’s some cooler weather in the evenings, we are offering free, cut firewood to those that need it.

Help yourselves to what we stack outside our yard. Please take what you need. Leave some for the next person. And please leave our stacking bins and clean up the site if you’re sorting through the wood.

We’ll keep putting out bins of free, cut firewood as long as we have the material available, and people respect the above rules.

Enjoy and have a happy, healthy Labor Day!
