USW Local 1123 Takes Best Entry for a Non-Profit Group In Canal Day Parade

On Sunday, August 16, members from United Steelworkers Local 1123 participated in Canal Day Parade in Magnolia, OH. It had been 30 years since they had taken part in the parade but when they returned home this year, it was with the Best Entry for a Non-Profit Group award.

During the parade, members handed out over 50 pounds of candy and 200 American flags courtesy of the veterans group in Canton, Ohio.

The 1123 hard hat was given a special fiberglass coating by Carrie Holland due to rain damage from a previous parade in July. The members chose the motto “Together Everyone Achieves More” or TEAM because they thought it was a great way to support football and to connect our union with the community.

Those in the parade were, Shawn Lindner, Katrina Fitzgerald, Carol Maney, Carrie Holland, Adam Holland Sr, President Bob Harper and Jeff Spurrier.
