The Penn Center’s Labor Day celebration on St. Helena Island included a friendly 5-mile just-for-fun bike ride, guest speakers and songs, culminatingwith traditional fried whiting, barbecued chicken, cole slaw, baked beans, ribs and pulled pork. Here, Marlena Smalls, left, and family members sing traditional Gullah songs.
