Labor Day picnic dedicated to the unemployed

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -Some folks had a chance to end the holiday on a special note yesterday afternoon outside.

 Hundreds showed up for the "Working Families Labor Day Picnic" at Howard Park. It was put on by the AFL-CIO and several local unions.

 It was an event for the whole family with a barbecue, balloons and even a bounce house.
