Photo from 2011 Labor Day Parade
Join us for an afternoon of Solidarity!
To walk in the parade with your fellow brothers and sisters, meet at the
East end of Iowa State Capital at 10:30 AM for the parade line-up. Parade will begin at 11:00 AM and ends at the Iowa State Fairgrounds. We want
to have the biggest group there to show our pride in I.B.E.W. Local #347!
After the parade join us at the Union Labor Park: 4602 Morningstar Drive. Directions: Off of Euclid Avenue, go north onto 12th Street. 12th Street
turns into Morningstar Drive. The Labor Park is on the West.
Bring everyone! This is a family affair!
According to Wikipedia: The form for the celebration of Labor Day was outlined in
the first proposal of the holiday: A street parade to exhibit to the public "the strength and esprit de corps of the trade and labor organizations",
followed by a festival for the workers and their families.
