Growing up in the northeast, Labor Day marked the end of the summer and Back To School. It was that final weekend of sleeping late, staying up late and celebrating with friends and family. But here in Georgia, school has already started and summer vacation is but a fond memory. So Labor Day becomes a holiday, a three day weekend. It is a public holiday and day of festivities held in honor of working people. And even though theoretically, summer has ended, there are still lots of things to do Labor Day weekend around West Cobb.
