Great localism post, Toni. Now I would have a hard time pronouncing the river's name.
So do we, Mary, so do we :)
Toni....That's a lot of neat things going on....I like it when these events last more than just a weekend....it gives more people a chance to get involved.
Hope you have a great day!---Rob
