Here we all are on the lawn of the courthouse in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. In some states it's not legal to have this much fun on city property! Our riverboat banjo players risked arrest and incarceration being onstage together at the same time!

It was a beautiful sunny day, with a great breeze... and the shade of the trees was very welcome.
Some of our steamboat race passengers really get caught up in the spirit of the event! If ever there was a classic American event to participate in, the Great Steamboat Race is it. (As you may know, the folks with the red t-shirts are from the Mississippi Queen; and the folks with the blue t-shirts are from the Delta Queen.)
