Are you Ready for Labor Day?

Football: Jets-v-Eagles, Sep 2009 - 29

Hopefully your week is going well. I can’t believe that Labor Day is this weekend. My how time flies when you’re having fun! Remember if you’re looking for something to do on the cheap, make sure to check your local newspaper and internet resources and I’m sure that you’ll find something.

College football starts on Thursday, and I have really missed it this year. That’s always something fun to do with your family. High school football has also started and you can usually get tickets to a game for less than five bucks.

Fantasy football drafts are also getting started for the pro season. You know that you don’t have to pay to play that, but can play if for free. One of the places you can play for free is from fox sports - here’s the link - click here.

We’ll be taking some time off over the weekend so our next post will be on Tuesday or so of next week. We hope you and your family have a wonderful labor day.
