PHOTOS: Coopersburg Fire Company Represents in Labor Day Parade

OK, so it did rain on Pen Argyl's 77th annual Labor Day parade, but parade-goers didn't let a little moisture ruin their moods.

And it certainly didn't stop the from rolling out in style. 

Sponsored by Lookout Fire Company #1, the parade marched off at 1 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 3. After fire whistles , children -- with bags and buckets in hand -- quickly lined the borough's sidewalks. The candy, too, was on its way.
