Local 30’s family day featured bounce houses and other fun activities for the kids.
On November 6th, ILWU Local 30 held a family day celebration at the union hall, an event which Local #30 President David Liebengood hopes will become an annual event.
The Local 30 family day kicked- off in the parking area of the union hall at 10a.m. Approximately 200 showed up for the day with their families. There was a bounce house, a car- nival, a pony, and “twenty mule team” tractor rides for kids, a petting zoo, carnival games, a BBQ, live music, free hot dogs, nachos, face painting, photos by Richard Miller, and free t-shirts for everyone who came to the event.
Joan Sekler, writer, director and producer of the DVD documentary Locked Out 2010 was on hand to answer questions and the documentary DVD’s were available for $10.
“We had a good turn-out for this year’s event”, said Liebengood. “I would like to see this continue from year to year”. The event closed out around 2 p.m. with a raffle drawing. The grand prize winner of a 40-inch big screen TV was Dean Tackett, while Ryan Moore won a $100 Visa gift card. Other winners were Art Kelly, and Leon Morris.
