Sounds like a great time for Labor Day Monday as the end of a great Holiday Weekend. It’s a great way to bring people and families together and watch some tough Softball played with our American Soldiers and Airmen rock Cheney Stadium. Though our Tacoma Rainiers are always great baseball players too.
Thanks Buffalo Soldiers to bring United States of America to greatness with a great celebration of Labor Day Weekend.
A great way to bring our children and teenagers back to school.
After a long summer of sunshine and hot days for the Pacific Northwest. With families enjoying their summer vacation or vacations on the beach, boating the Lakes of Washington and the great Puget Sound Waters, camping the mountains and shorelines of State Parks. This is the way to release our fears and frustrations as many people hopefully find work and stability with their lives in Unions and strong relationships.
