Published: 04 Sep 2015
  What are your big plans for Labor Day? Some folks love to visit their nearest lake or beach to soak up the last rays of summer, while others plan their last fun-filled adventure before fall sets
  in. Or maybe it’s just to stay home and finally clean out that garage and get the yard work done. Or, how about hosting a backyard barbecue and taking it easy while everyone else battles the
  crowds?

  

  No matter what type of plans you have, Dickey’s Barbecue Pit has you covered.

  

Here are our top ten ways you can make Labor Day weekend hassle free and much more delicious.
<span style="line-height: 1.42857143;">Skip the grill, get Dickey’s takeout. <br></span><br>
<span style="line-height: 1.42857143;">You know you’re dreading the moment you light up the grill, only to find you’re out of propane. You go to the store and purchase a huge tank, come home to
set it up, then stand outside in the late-summer heat over the flames all afternoon. Not our idea of a good time.<br></span><br>
<span style="line-height: 1.42857143;">Why not skip the grill and get delicious barbecue made fresh when you order? Our online ordering option ensures you spend your precious time relaxing and
enjoying the weekend.<br></span><span style="line-height: 1.42857143;"><br></span>

<span style="line-height: 1.42857143;">Last but not least, celebrate the history of Labor Day with us. Labor Day became a federal holiday in 1894 to reward American laborers for their hard
work.<br>
<span style="line-height: 1.42857143;"><br>
In 1941, 47 years after the first Labor Day, Travis Dickey opened his first barbecue stand in Dallas. The Dickey family has labored in the restaurant business for the last 74 years, bringing
their signature family recipes across the nation and looks forward to celebrating with you this holiday weekend.<br></span><br></span>
