"Walking the Boat" - It's Not Just Skiers Performing in the River Rats Show!
The 2017 Twin Cities River Rats season opened this past Thursday night, and it was fantastic fun. If you've never been to one of these free family-friendly events (or haven't lingered after all the skiers were done performing) you're missing this "walk the boat" stunt.
Follow the River Rats on Facebook and check out their event listing - don't let the summer go by without taking in at least one of their performances. The next show is Thursday, June 15. Bring a lawn chair or blanket, and enjoy snacks, pop, water, brats and hot dogs from the concession stand.
This is an all-volunteer organization, and many of the performers are family members. When you go, consider bringing an extra $5 to drop in the contribution bucket after the show - they are sure to pay it forward! :)
