The Labor Day Parade Introduces a Change of Seasons
As usual Toledoans
celebrated the arrival of autumn and lamented the end of
summer with the annual Labor Day Parade in the downtown
area. This year’s parade’s route was altered slightly to
accommodate the hundreds of orange barrels and miles of tape
that has cordoned off city streets for repairs.
Usually the route takes
marchers and onlookers north on Summit Street, then onto
Adams and south on Huron. This year, the parade made a left
run onto Jackson from Summit and ended at Jackson and Huron
near One Government Center.
The 2019 parade Grand
Marshall was Ray Wood, president of the Toledo NAACP chapter
and longtime former president of the UAW Local 14.
