Hey all,
American Queen to join Great Steamboat Race | The Courier-Journal | courier-journal.com
This article just showed up on the Louisville Courier Journal (local news paper) website, ad is being bandied about on all the local news channels today. The AMERICAN QUEEN will be joining the Great Steamboat Race. Although, we all have known this for some time...this is the first word out of the Derby Festival officially.
Looks like next spring could be very exciting! With the onset of fall-like weather...this is very good news!

Dave,
It would be a blast if you and I were the two at the consoles, too! But then no one would win that contest!
