ery in the Midwest. While that refinery may get back online sooner rather than later, it’s not impossible that down the road the situation could impact prices in the region. For the rest of the country, however, we’ll continue to see prices moderate. This is of course subject to hurricane season, and it does appear that the tropics are starting to see some activity, so there’s no guarantee the decline will continue.”

The Shelter will be closed Monday, September 5, in honor or Labor Day

Monday, September 6, is Labor Day! A Federal holiday is set aside to celebrate all the accomplishments of people who work and labor in the United States. American workers have helped to form the United States of America as we know it today. It was made an official holiday by Congress in 1894. All schools are closed on this day, as well as all Federal and state offices, banks, and many private businesses.

The Knights of Labor, a labor union that was formed in 1869, decided to hold a parade in New York City on September 5, 1882. The parade was a peaceful demonstration which encouraged good working environments for workers in all trades. The parade was such a success that another was held in 1884. It quickly grew in popularity and became a way to honor the American Work Force. Who created Labor Day is somewhat of a mystery. Some believe that the idea came from a man by the name of Peter McGuire. McGuire was a member of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, as well as a member of the American Federation of Labor. Other historians believe that the holiday was suggested by a man named Matthew Maguire, also a union leader. No matter who ultimately came up with the idea, it is a day that we can celebrate the citizens in our Country who work so hard!
