Attendees can explore informational booths, take a tour of the Melvin Price Lock and Dam, enjoy animal shows, explore police and fire vehicles, win prizes and more. “It just got legs and became our largest event of the year,” joked Allison Kennington with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Rivers Project. “The idea is to just kick off the warmer season, the recreation season, and teach people the different ways we can recreate along the river and in the Riverbend area and how to do it safely.” The National Great Rivers Museum (NGRM) will host over 30 partners on May 17. Kids are invited to visit each informational booth and receive stamps on their “passport.”
