Curious as to how many teams are allowed to practice on Labor Day anymore. Many districts have a no practice policy on holidays.

I don't know of any. Which districts do not allow football practice on Labor Day?

Boone County school district doesn’t allow teams to practice on Labor Day.

You are a talented storyteller, Chief. Thank you for the article and happy Labor Day.

Labor Day practice was a tradition for us (not as nice as Thanksgiving day practice) and it served two purposes. We had to help clean up whatever mess was left over from the Labor Day fireworks and kept most of us from getting to out of control on a Sunday with no school the following day. 
 

Great stories I love to hear about.

Labor Day was always the Monday before our first game, and the last weekend before school started. Don't remember doing anything special, just that it was that point in time when things started to get serious and the season was about to get started.
