LIMA, Ohio (WLIO) – With the holiday weekend underway, many in the community are preparing for Monday’s annual Labor Day parade.
The event, sponsored by the Lima Building Trades, will step off at 10 a.m. at the corner of Robb Avenue and North Main Street. The parade will travel south to Town Square. Labor Day became a federal holiday in 1894 as a way to honor American workers. Before that, several states recognized the observance, with the first Labor Day parade held in September 1882 in New York City.
