One of America's longest-running Labor Day celebrations will take place again this year at the Gibson County Fairgrounds in Princeton, Indiana.

The 137th edition of the Labor Day Association's annual event runs Friday through Monday and offers free carnival rides and free parking, and also will feature a demolition derby, kids' games, horseshoes, cornhole, pageants, a talent show, a car show, and food and vendor booths.

The annual parade is scheduled for Monday. It will start at the intersection of Main and Evans streets, then go for just over a mile to the north gate at the GIbson County Fairgrounds.

The celebration is the product of a combination of work by 64 Tri-State unions, as well as business and civic organizations. Organizers say it is the second-longest running Labor Day event in the United States.
