Are you leaving town for this upcoming Labor Day? Do you have the day off? Doesn't it feel like everyone has a fabulous weekend planned, but you? Me too.

Where and what can we losers do while everyone else is hopping on a plane to live their best damn lives?

Let's take a look at the places that are open this upcoming Labor Day Monday.

What's open on Labor Day in Northern Colorado?

Why not plan a big BBQ for all of your friends and family? Those last-minute extravaganzas always come with a few hiccups. You buy Pepsi, but your Dad will only drink Coke. You bought a ton of hamburgers and hot dogs, but your sister has decided (just last week) that she's a vegetarian. She's always looking for attention. And so on and so forth.

The good news is that it looks like the grocery stores in Northern Colorado are indeed open on Labor Day Monday. This includes Walmart Supercenter, King Soopers, Safeway, Piggly Wiggly, and Target. That means if anything springs out of nowhere, you'll be good to go.

But maybe you just don't feel like entertaining because people make things hard. And maybe you want to spend Labor Day doing something you enjoy. Like the list of home improvement honey-doos your wife has been bugging you about. That sounds fun.

If that's the case, boy, do I have news for you. Most home improvement businesses in Northern Colorado are indeed open. That includes Lowes, Home Depot, and even Ace Hardware.

You lucky devil.

What if you just have to get the kids out of the house because they're driving you crazy being out of school for three whole days? Wasn't it just summer break? Damn. Good news: All over Northern Colorado, swimming pools and splash pads will be open on the holiday. Check out Discovery Bay in Greeley, City Park Pool in Fort Collins, or the Winona Outdoor Pool in Loveland.

Also, many of the swimming hot spots in Northern Colorado consider Labor Day their final day open for the season.
