Labor Day Weekend in Dallas-Fort Worth
Labor Day is always the first Monday in September. It was original a tribute to labor unions but now it's just a four-day weekend.
Despite the hot temperatures in DFW in the beginning of September, you can just feel the change in the air. You know that fall is coming -- even though temps may still be near triple digits. There are a lot of fun activities to enjoy with friends or the family. Don't miss the last big holiday before it's time to put the pumpkins on the porch.
Labor Day weekend is also the start of dove hunting season in Texas. Be sure to get your hunting license.
Grab your guns because dove hunting season is finally here.
Target First Saturdays is a great time to take the whole family to the Nasher Sculpture Garden. Enjoy free admission and a Children's Art activity at 10 a.m. The Nasher Sculpture Center is a beautiful art collection where you will find world-class works by Picasso and Rodin plus almost 300 other unique pieces.
