These boaters are traveling America’s Great Loop , a continuous route through eastern North America that takes boats down the Mississippi River, through the Gulf of Mexico, up the east coast and into Canada and the Great Lakes.

A silent auction and two bands will accompany the dinner and dance. The event will also honor community members and two NFL stars from Alton .
