Main Street in Oak Creek was filled from top to bottom Monday for the annual Labor Day Parade. Hundreds showed up to celebrate the community. Oak Creek Postmaster Doug Sprowls was the Grand Marshal. The train even came through town during the middle of the parade, which concluded with the first Rubber Ducky Race down the middle of the street. Everyone then went to Decker Park to enjoy food and fun and games. There are a lot of pictures on the Steamboat Radio Facebook page.
