It is strange to me that not one line has been written about the outstanding Labor Day Parade that was held in Halls on Labor Day. There were floats, antique car, Dance Groups, and a performance by the Halls High School, Golden Tiger Band. This is an annual event that has been taking place for over fifty years. And never one word is ever written about it in any news papers…… Why is that?
