For many, Labor Day weekend serves as an unofficial end of summer. Children cooled off at splash pads and enjoyed ice cream cones. Families celebrated their heritage and enjoyed pizza, pasta and other Italian favorites at La Festa Italiana in Scranton. In Wyoming County, 4-H members showed their livestock. At Harveys Lake, sail boats illuminated in red signified cooler days ahead.
La Festa Italiana
The festival continues at Lackawanna County Courthouse Square from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Monday.
