Being the birthplace of Senator James H. Kyle (an influential figure in the creation of Labor Day), Cedarville celebrates the holiday every year with fireworks, a parade, and even a pancake breakfast.

Cedarville police treat kids to a train ride around the community park Sunday afternoon. At dusk, families gather at the park for the fireworks display.

Students join the rest of the Cedarville community to enjoy the fireworks display, which started around 9:30 Sunday night.

The annual pancake breakfast at the Cedarville VFD always draws a crowd.

CU President, Dr. White, and daughter Rachel join the CU Women's Volleyball team to hand out goodies during the parade Monday afternoon.

CedarFest draws to a close with the end of the parade. (Pictured: Cedarville's KinderGARTHENS and their flower float.)
