Celebrate Labor Day: Great Food, Good Coffee & Relaxation with J.L.Hufford

Labor Day is more than just a long weekend—it's a celebration of the contributions and achievements of workers across America. Established in the late 19th century, Labor Day honors the labor movement and the social and economic progress of American workers. It became a federal holiday in 1894 and serves as a reminder of the value of hard work and the importance of fair labor practices.
