Ellsworth as Grand Marshal

He'll be at the Annual Labor Day Parade in Terre Haute tomorrow.

Each year the parade attracts about 8,000 people, both as participants and watchers.

...
The parade is important "to get laborers' views out there in front of the people and celebrate what working people have done for all members of society," Strange said.

Brad Ellsworth, 8th District Democratic congressional candidate, is this year's parade grand marshal.

"We like Brad," Strange said. "He's proven himself to be a friend of organized labor."

After the parade, the Vigo County Democrat Central Committee will host a free ham and bean dinner at Fairbanks Park.

During the dinner, area civic, labor and political leaders will speak.

"It's a traditional way to end the parade ...," said Joe Etling, chairman of the Vigo County Democratic Party.

Although they expect a large turnout, Etling said there should be plenty of food. Carl Gregory, Nevis Township trustee, will be the head bean cook, Etling said.

To cap the Labor Day festivities off, there's the annual Labor Day Awards Dinner, which starts at 6 p.m. at the Holiday Inn. The dinner is sponsored by the Wabash Valley Central Labor Council.

Awards expected to be given out include local union of the year, local union member of the year, community servant of the year, media award and the Labor Day award. Parade awards also will be announced.

Mike Pleasant, business manager of Plumbers & Steamfitters Local 157, will be the master of ceremonies.

Ellsworth, who is running for the congressional seat against Rep. John Hostettler, R-8th, will be the keynote speaker.
