To demonstrate their appreciation for their employees’ hard work and dedication, Holland-Zeeland area employers are once again hosting a celebration honoring the local workforce on Labor Day. This event is the Labor Day Truck Parade and Ice Cream Social on Monday, September 6. About 50 big rigs representing lakeshore-area companies will rumble down Zeeland’s Main Street at 9:15 am and 8th Street in Holland at 9:30, horns blasting and polished to high gleam, in the largest non-military convoy in the U.S.
After-parade festivities continue in the Holland Civic Center parking lot, where free hot dogs, ice cream and an up-close look at the semi-trucks that carry locally-made goods across the nation and around the world are available to the community until noon. This fun-for-the-whole-family experience is delightful in sight and sound and is a great way to recognize the work ethic and mutual respect our area employees and employers enjoy.
