CULTURE Most Labor Day picnics canceled, but not in Southwest Washington Northwest Oregon Labor Council (NOLC) won’t host its annual Labor Day picnic again this year because of continuing COVID-19 re- strictions for large gather- ings. The event was also can- celed last year because of the pandemic. NOLC’s Labor Day event at Oaks Park is one of the largest west of the Mississippi, with crowds of over 18,000. Oaks Park is limited to gatherings of 2,500 people for the remainder of 2021. “We are very disap- pointed, but are looking for- ward to making the 2022 La- bor Day picnic the very best ever,” said NOLC Executive Secretary Bob Tackett. “Please know that next year we are going to have one heck of a party!” It is the second time since 1985 that NOLC hasn’t sponsored a picnic on Labor Day. Lane County Central Labor Chapter also can- celed its picnic. On the bright side, South- west Washington Centra Labor Council and C o w l i t z - Wa h k i a k u m Counties Central Labor Council will host their joint Jeff Washburn Labor Day Picnic at Haydu Park in Kalama. The inaugural pic- nic was held in 2019, but was canceled last year because of the coronavirus. The family picnic includes food, music, bingo, kids’ games, local politicians, and more. It goes from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Labor Day. The labor councils are seeking sponsorship dona- tions for the picnic.
