1997 Labor Day Association History
The theme for 1997 is “UNIONs Inherting the Past – Building the Future”.

We will have a 1 hour TV Show on Channel 7 featuring the Parade.

D & P Amusements of Newburgh, Indiana will provide the Carnival Rides.

We will not have a party after the Celebration as in the past, but will instead feed the volunteers during the set up week; lunch and supper.

Parade Grand Marshall was Bobby Joe Smith, past Labor Day President.

Diamond Tees of Evansville, Indiana will do Volunteers T-shirts and American Advertising of Boonville, Indiana will do the Commemorative T-shirts.

Mike Faries will do photos and Larry Coland will do video for Celebration.

Market & Company of Evansville, Indiana will place all the Radio & TV ads for the Celebration.

Labor Day Association dues are $2.00 per working member.
