Thanks Mark for that info. Hopefully this trip will be well publicized and well attended. She will be docking not only by the CELEBRATION BELLE, but also by the MISSISSIPPI BELLE II, the former Clinton casino and nee excursion boat. Schadlers have bought it to convert back to an excursion boat to sell to a larger metropolitan area. I had forgotten how much bigger it is than the CB (nee MB I). That is a good and easy location for people to reach - its on River Drive and 34 St. Ben Butterworth Parkway follows that stretch of the river too.
