Rivertown Breakdown


Last Summer, GBC helped the P.A. Denny River Education Center during the All Hands on Deck event.  We painted and helped get the boat in ship shape order.  Since we were there, the ship has encountered a major need for repairs to its hull.  If the repairs are not made, the ship will be permanently docked.

 

One piece of good news – Jake Speed, who organizes The Annual Rivertown Breakdown (www.rivertownbreakdown.com) has generously offered to donate the proceeds of that event to the hull repair!! 

The 9th Rivertown Breakdown is June 5, 2010 at the Southgate House in Newport, KY! Bands representing all genres of American music raise money for the P.A. Denny River Education Center docked in Covington, KY. It's a great time for a great cause!! We hope that you can make it out to the event ($15 at the door) and make sure that the Denny will continue cruising the local waterways.
