Beautiful Day for the Union-Sponsored Labor Day Picnic

Labor Day Picnic, September 5, 2016

Union volunteers stayed busy grilling hamburgers and hot dogs for the Labor Day picnic in Columbia Park yesterday. Long lines of picnic-goers snaked through the park waiting to load up their plates. Kids made a beeline for the free ice cream and cotton candy, then headed to the bounce houses. Live music from the stage reverberated through the throngs of picnic goers. It was a perfect day to be among friends celebrating America and what union labor brings to our country.
