I'll be around helping out. If you come up you might want to stay at one of the Casino's in Council Bluffs. It is about a 30 minute drive from the casino's to Cottonwood but there is a lot more to do at the casino's. I'll check and see if there is a band playing at Cottonwood on Friday and Saturday night.

Man that look's like a Fun event!! I surfed a couple of their site's and saw how those self proclaimed "River Rat's" Party!! Look's like my kind of people!!! I still can't believe that there are that many boat's running the Missouri River!! And to top it off they aren't fishing boat's!! I wish people did that here in Kansas City! But, maybe the water is a little different up there? Heck, in a couple of the picture's I saw people wadeing and tubing!! If someone down here is "In the River" it's never a good thing! It's usually means they are floating face down.

I think I even saw Griff's Pantera in one of the pic.'s, it was pulled up to a sand bar or something!?!

Well now for the Bad news I think I'm going to have to go to a wedding that weekend for one of Carrie's friends!

I have a trophy from 1996 that I need to defend, so the One Vision Active Thunder will be there. In fact, I talked with the owner, (Mac) of Cottonwood Marina yesterday, and one of the ladies in charg of the event, (Nancy) today. It sounds like these folks are gearing up for a great event.
Having spent some time in Omaha area, I can tell y'all that the "river rats" know how to have a good time. These folks can be pretty wild when they cut loose. Also, the Omaha riverfront/downtown area is pretty cool. A clean and safe place to party and have a good time.

Mrs 283Check

That's too bad Brad We were hoping you could go.

Outlawcowgirl

Yes, that is too bad. With your hat you had on Sunday at Perry, you would fit right in on the river!

Griff

Hell, I didn't even know that was there until I started searching. I Finally found it under one of concert photo sections for the Anchor Inn.

Bad news for me too I have a wedding to go to at 2pm and can't get off work anyway to even get up there later in the day.
