Buhl Day on Labor Day

Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man celebrates Labor Day! Labor Day is a United States federal holiday that takes place on the first Monday in September. The holiday began in 1882, originating from a desire by the Central Labor Union to create a day off for the "working man". It is still celebrated mainly as a day of rest and marks the symbolic end of summer for many. Labor Day became a federal holiday by Act of Congress in 1894.

Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man works tirelessly to promote yard safety awareness as well as develop and market various innovative yard safety products and services. For instance, Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man is obsessive and compulsive about protecting and saving individuals, families, and institutions from experiencing a yard accident. For instance, Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man is the inventor of yard (garden grass lawn landscaping mowing turf) safety footwear. In addition, Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man is a renaissance yard man who utilizes various art forms to communicate his yard safety awareness message.

Today, Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man will celebrate Labor Day with family and friends. I will enjoy a family picnic, remembering the many union workers (including my dad who worked as a crane operator for 43 years at Sharon Steel Corporation as well as other relatives and friends). My dad (Robert N. Mudrinich) died in 1995. He was an innovative genius and inventor. In addition, he was a great humanitarian helping anyone who needed assistance. His community contributions included: family resources, legal research, nuts-and-bolts projects, psychological assistance, social work, etc. to help those individuals both more and less fortunate than himself. Likewise, my mom has worked in child care for over three decades. She has raised children, cherished grandchildren, embraced children of deceased parents, acted as the adopted grandmother for some children, comforted the mentally challenged, cared for the community, etc. She has cancer, and she still cares for others (often times before herself). In the spirit of my dad and mom, Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man strives to innovate yard safety to an unprecedented level with the intention to circle the globe.

Frank Buhl founded the Sharon Steel Corporation and was a partner in United State Steel Corporation. It was this industry that became one of the Shenango Valley’s main sources of income and financial stability for the next hundred years. The Buhls were beloved citizens and philanthropists of the Shenango Valley. Frank’s success in the steel industry provided them with the finances to contribute generously to the Sharon community for many generations to come. Some of their many contributions were the area’s first hospital, the Oakwood Cemetery, the F.H. Buhl Club, the Buhl-Henderson Library, the Julia F. Buhl Girls Club, St. John’s Episcopal Church and the Sharon Country Club. The F. H. Buhl Farm was probably their most generous gift to the local residents. Mr. Buhl purchased three hundred acres of land and then dedicated five years developing it, building roads and planting over 75,000 trees. He built an eleven-acre lake (Lake Julia) with a Casino for public recreation as well as an eighteen-hole golf course. In addition, by the terms of his will, he made necessary arrangements to assure the perpetual maintenance of his projects, thus, Sharon has the only free golf course in America.

Later today, Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man will make an appearance at Buhl Day located at Buhl Farm in Hermitage, Pennsylvania. If there ever was a family day, well then it must be Buhl Day. Buhl Day dates back to 1915 when industrialist Frank Buhl and his wife, Julia, started the celebration to honor the working men and women in the Shenango Valley. It continued until World War II and then resumed again in 1980. Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man looks forward to a nice day of community, family, and fun at Buhl Day.

Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man wants everyone to have a Happy Labor Day! Nonetheless, Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man is always on duty to promote yard safety awareness and rescue people from yard accidents.
