After a delayed bicycle trip - due to rain - up to Garver's Family Farm Market for sweet corn, we took a trip to the Hamilton Branch of Miami University for the Great Miami River Days: A Gathering By The River . 
The children loved playing in the sand left over from this creation! There were, of course, many booths selling food, advertising and giving away free materials about the care of the river. There were bands, children's activities galore, a hugh display of Civil War life with walkabouts and demonstrations, Native American reenactors celebrating "A Gathering By The River", and water events. 
The culminating event of the Badgerland Ski Show! Aren't they awesome?!? 
The afternoon water activities ended with the North American Championship finals of the APR Formula 3 Boat Race. 
And look who was wandering around amongst the crowds - none other than 'Captain Black Sparrow!'
Educate, Recreate, Celebrate
