Races, a homerun derby, children's games, dog trick show, car show, four live bands, food and more are on tap Monday.
Morrisville is hosting its 51st Annual Mayor's Labor Day Picnic this long weekend and the community is invited.
The Monday event will kick off at 9 a.m. at Williamson Park on Delmorr Avenue with a baby crawling contest. Babies have to be six months to 10 months old.
At the same time, the annual Morrisville Fire Company Labor Day 10K and Fun Run will start at the park. Registration for the run will be available the day of the run.
Seamus McElligot still has the 10K record of 29 minutes set in 1995 and Jan Yerkes-Robbins has retained the female record of 35 minutes since 1990. There will be a $150 bonus to any runner who breaks the records.

"It will be a day filled with fun with the community," said Mayor Rita Ledger. "Friends will be able to see each other and catch up."
The free event will also feature a car show from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and a dog trick show at 11 a.m.
At 1 p.m., community residents who are 10, 11 and 12 years old can participate in a home run derby with a follow-up softball game at 3 p.m.
At noon, the children's games will begin. From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., the bingo tables will be open.
From noon to 4 p.m., picnic-goers can enjoy food, craft vendors and live music of four bands.
Residents are encouraged to bring lawn chairs.
