As America enjoys a long weekend thanks to the Labor Day holiday, the Rapides Parish Journal staff will be commemorating the occasion, too.

We join in a nationwide salute to the workers who make the U.S. economy the best in the world, and whose skill and effort continues to be the backbone of our American way of life. We hope you and yours have the opportunity to relax and rejoice this Labor Day weekend.

There will be no Monday edition of the RPJ. We’ll be back publishing on weekdays as normal Tuesday morning, popping into emails at 6:55 and online and on our Facebook page even earlier in the morning, providing you with free local content.

Thanks for reading your Journal.
