A little rain and dark skies didn't dampen the enthusiasm of kids and families at Keepataw Days on Saturday. 

Although the weather kept attendance down at Lemont's annual Labor Day festival, those that ventured out were rewarded with short lines for rides and food. 

Music and the tasty aromas of food were everywhere as attendees tried out rides like Zero Gravity, Pharaoh's Fury, train rides and bumper cars.
