Labor Day weekend is here! The holiday created for workers — and to fill the holiday-free gap between Independence Day and Thanksgiving.
It’s your weekend to rest, put all your white clothes away, watch football, or do all the things you wanted to do before summer is officially over.
Be sure to check out all the live music in the area including a show at The Backyard and the 5th Annual Be Brave Benefit with Clint Black at The Oasis. Or head downtown for the Texas Longhorns season opener this Saturday.
Whatever you decide, enjoy the 3-day weekend and the short week ahead. We’ll see you out and about!
