46th Annual Labor Day Celebration THIS Sunday

The 46th Annual Logan Labor Day Celebration at the Logan Golf Course, located 1.25 miles east of Logan, Kansas, on Highway 9, will be held on Sunday, September 1, 2024.

The Hansen Museum sponsors this annual family-friendly event with funds from the Dane G. Hansen Foundation. There is no admission fee. Please note that there is construction on Highway 9.

If traveling westbound from Glade, ignore detour signs; Highway 9 is open all the way to the golf course.

Suppose you are traveling eastbound from Densmore, detour through Logan. Turn south (right) on 1300 Rd (Douglas Street), continue south to Main Street, turn east (left) onto Main Street, continue until reaching the end of the pavement, then veer left onto a gravel road and follow the road to Highway 9 (short distance—less than a mile).

At Highway 9, turn east (right) and proceed to the golf course.

The day begins at 10:00 a.m. with the Dane G. Bales Jr. Memorial Car Show. The car show has been a highlight of the Labor Day Celebration since 1998.

This year's feature car is Ray Mace's 1961 Chevy. Make sure to get there before 4:00 p.m. to check out everything from classic coupes and beefed-up muscle cars to antique pick-up trucks and flashy hot rods.

Grab your friends and make a team for the sand volleyball tournament.

Each team must consist of three men and three women (all 16 years or older). Bump, set, and spike your way to victory.

First place wins 50% of the purse and t-shirts, second place receives meal tickets and t-shirts, and third place takes home t-shirts. Registration closes at 10:30 a.m., and the tournament starts at 11:00 a.m.

Get some exercise, see the sights, or win a prize at this year's festivities.

Let the kids run loose and find entertainment that will burn off some energy by jumping in the bouncy house or competing with their friends on the obstacle course. Ready to test your arm? Check out the football pass game. All these fun opportunities will be open from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Feeling competitive enough to try for a prize? The Siruta Pedal Pullers State Sanctioned Kid's Tractor Pull begins at 2:00 p.m., and winners are eligible to compete in the State Pull at the Kansas State Fair in Hutchinson.

In between activities, you'll find plenty of delicious options for both lunch and supper (plus snacking in between) at the Logan Junior Class Food Booth, The Corn Kettle, and Buck's Snow Shack.

Take a ride into Logan and visit the Hansen Museum from 1:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. On view in the Museum is Da Vinci's The Exhibition. Step inside and be transported back in time to the Renaissance. Da Vinci's The Exhibition follows the polymath Leonardo da Vinci on a journey of innovation, creativity, science, and wonder. It is a hands-on exploration of the life and work of the original Renaissance man, Leonardo da Vinci.

The 46th Annual Logan Labor Day Celebration's live entertainment will start at 5:45 p.m. with a group of cowboy poets spinning tales underneath the food booth tent, and at 7:00 p.m., Jimmy Dee and the Fabulous Destinations will take the main stage. Rock the night away as the band takes you on a musical journey through the '50s and '60s.

Last but certainly not least, the grand finale by Rainbow Fireworks of Inman, Kansas, will light up the sky with a brilliant display of fireworks that can be seen for miles. All this and more happens at the 46th ANNUAL LOGAN LABOR DAY CELEBRATION at the Logan Golf Course located 1.25 miles east of Logan, Kansas, on SUNDAY, September 1, 2024.
