Lots going on in Sacramento for Labor Day Weekend.
Come to Old Sac and Celebrate the Old Gold Rush Days! The cobblestone streets will be covered with dirt to reenact the days of the Old West. Do you want to ride a wagon train? How about pan for gold? Or just listen to the music from the time and watch the street dramas.
- Friday, 9 am till 4 pm
- Saturday and Sunday, 11 am till 7 pm
- Monday, 11 am till 4 pm
Don't miss this one...runs from August 31 thru September 3rd.
If this doesn't intrigued you, remember that the CA State Fair is still running and would be a great place to celebrate the Labor Day Weekend. The CA State Fair runs thru September 3rd.
Are you interested in some food? How about the 44th Annual Greek Festival being held at the Convention Center at 1400 J Street, Downtown from August 31 thru September 2nd. and cost $5 to attend. Be sure to try out the soulvaki, pastittso and spankaopita along with the regular chicken, lamb meals and vegetarian meals. Lots for the kids to do and live Greek music and dancing.

For those who wonder what Labor Day is all about:
Labor Day is the first Monday of September, always. Labor Day is a tribute to the workers who have made this country's strength and prosperity what it is today. Some say that this day had its origins from Australia when an 8 hour day work day was organized by workers who marched to protest and were successful in changing the long work day to an 8 hour day with no loss of pay.
No matter which one you wish to believe, it's a day for all to enjoy over a long weekend. Have fun!
