Plan Ahead for Labor Day Weekend — Make It Easy

Published about 2 months ago • 2 min read

Hi friend!

Labor Day weekend is one week away, and after a month of school routines, backpacks, and calendar Tetris, I think we've all earned a long weekend that doesn't require an alarm clock.

Below is everything you need to plan it, plus a look at what's coming right behind it. The Plano Balloon Festival runs September 17 through 20, and the State Fair of Texas opens September 25, so if you haven't looked at either yet, now's the time before tickets and time slots get harder to plan around.

Reply and tell me what your Labor Day weekend plans look like this year.

xoxo, Abbie
