It’s a bit like that half-glass of water: does Labor Day Weekend mark the end of summer or the start of Autumn?

North-Forks says you can have it both ways!

This type of ultra-optimistic thinking makes getting out to the Fork this weekend and having a terrific time even more important, because it’ll be your last jaunt of the summer AND first of autumn!
