Santa Fe.Ratzlaff said people can discuss a topic relevant to Labor Day, recite poetry or speak about whatever comes to mind."We're offering an open forum for anyone wanting to do that," she said.She said the Salina Area Workers' Coalition is a group of people who believe the contributions of workers should be recognized."We think it's important for working people to be valued and that value to be expressed in public," she said.Performing at the concert will be area musicians Ann Zimmerman, Don Wagner, Mattson & Weaver, Ashley Wheeler, Debra Stovall and Ruby Tilton. Donations for the performers will be accepted.Food, tooDuring the event, pulled pork sandwiches and other food items will be available for sale, Ratzlaff said. The sandwiches, pr迷你倉pared by Kitchen4Hire, will feature Dub-A-Rub Spice Rub created by Pam Boileau, of Marquette.Ratzlaff said the concert will be a come-and-go event, but she hopes people will come for the entire show. She said the music will begin at about 5:30 p.m.Ratzlaff said Ad Astra will be closed during the day Monday for the Labor Day holiday, but employees at the worker-owned cooperative decided to open that evening for the concert."Labor Day is really an important holiday," Ratzlaff said. "It's more than just a day to get off work and go shopping or something like that."It's a day to celebrate the contributions of workers, and in this part of the country, we have a lot of hard-working folks with a good work ethic. We need to show appreciation for them."She said economic recovery really isn't showing up in the paycheck of the average worker, and times are still tough. She said Monday night will be an opportunity for workers to kick back and have fun."It should be a lot of fun," she said. "We'll wrap it up by 8 because it's a work night."Copyright: ___ (c)2013 The Salina Journal (Salina, Kan.)
