Supporting Small Business Success: Celebrating Labor Day with First Bank of the Lake
As summer winds down, Labor Day offers a welcome opportunity to unwind, spend quality time with loved ones, and enjoy the last of the season’s barbecues. Yet, Labor Day is more than just a day of rest; it's a meaningful celebration of the hard work and dedication of workers who have shaped our nation. This day honors their contributions and the vital role they continue to play in building our communities.

Labor Day, was first celebrated on September 5, 1882, in New York City, and marks a significant milestone in American history. Organized by the Central Labor Union, this day was born from the labor movement’s fight during the Industrial Revolution for better wages, reasonable hours, and safer working conditions. Their efforts culminated in the establishment of Labor Day as a national holiday in 1894, signed into law by President Grover Cleveland.
