On Labor Day weekend (Friday, September 1, 2006 to Sunday, September 3, 2006) Kyle MacDonald, master of the One Red Paperclip blog, will be hosting an open house at his new home in Sasketchewan, Canada.  In case you’re unfamiliar with the story, on July 12, 2005, Kyle started with a single red paperclip and managed to orchestrate a series of trades, each increasing in value, until he had a new house.  The initial trade for a pen shaped like a fish was made two days after the original posting and the final trade occurred on July 7, 2006 when the town of Kipling, Sasketchewan traded Kyle a house in exchange for a role in a movie, the result of a prior trade with actor Corbin Bernsen.  Now, Kyle has moved into his new home and is hosting an open house party for the public, Labor Day weekend at his residence at 503 Main Street.
