every year in my race. The races were still going on <br />when my children were little. It was something exciting <br />for all the kids. After the races, there were games for the <br />ladies, like shoe kicking and driving nail contest. For <br />winning the nail contest, my mom won an electric iron, <br />which she treasured. For the young boys in town, there <br />was a greased pole with a ten dollar bill on top in one of <br />the vacant lots and somebody always won it. Another <br />time there was a greased pig running around in a pen <br />that the boys chased. <br />At the end of the afternoon, there was a rope pulling tug <br />of war, with the farmers on one side and the miners on <br />the other. The firemen held the water hoses in the middle <br />of Main Street and the losers got soaked. There was <br />always something to watch and people to see. <br />On Monday night, along with Bingo and the carnival, <br />there was music playing and all the high schoolers and <br />young people danced in the Main Street and Spruce St. <br />intersection. Nobody stayed home on Labor Day and it <br />seemed like the whole town spent the day on Main <br />Street. <br />During Louisville's Labor Day Festival on Main <br />Street, boys competed to climb a greased pole to <br />retrieve a ten dollar bill and to catch a greased pig. <br />Labor Day Parade, 1965. <br />Thanks to New and <br />Renewing Members <br />New Members <br />Rich & Maxine Arment <br />Rebecca Leslie <br />Diane Bailey Family <br />Louisville Mill Site LLC <br />George & Jennifer <br />Behringer <br />David Marks Family <br />Cristopher Benner Family <br />Maree Claire Martella- <br />Albright <br />Chris Bentley <br />Phil McClard <br />Lizzie Bliss <br />Timothy & Janice McTearnen <br />Beverley Burris <br />Lynn Myre <br />Christine Corzine Family <br />Peter Oakes Family <br />Sandra Ross DeLossa Family <br />Jennifer & David Parrett <br />Missy & Rich Diehl <br />Maureen & Rick Ruffino <br />Guy & Michelle Fromme & <br />Family <br />Kerri Salazar <br />Ty Gee Family <br />Chad Schoettger Family <br />John Huffaker Family <br />Nancy L.
