Several Labor Day events take place in the Regional Radio listening area today.

The largest Labor Day parade in Central Illinois, steps off this morning at 10 in Pana.  Past years' parades have taken as long as 2 hours to watch.

It's also the last day of the Pana Tri-County Fair at the fairgrounds east of Pana.
