Takin' Out To The River This Weekend.....

Here we go leading into the unofficial start of the Ohio River boating season with the fast-approaching Memorial Day weekend. The river is looking stunning and already we have seen the launch of  ski boats, kayaks and more hustling down the river. Love it!

We really plan on hitting the river this weekend in both Kayak and powerboat. Hopefully the weather holds out. The Ohio River is just so beautiful and we wish that all in the Greater Cincinnati and beyond believed in this most beautiful natural resource. With the wildlife, the beautiful hills falling towards the river and stunning sunsets glistening off of the water, we need to get our friends "up on the hills" of Greater Cincinnati to stroll on down to the River. We can't wait to finish work and kick out of downtown for the weekend.

To prepare for the weekend, we checked out Facebook, including  a search for happenings in our new favorite little Village on the water; New Richmond on the Ohio.  We were not disappointed. The Green Kayak is leading the charge with an outstanding lineup of musicians on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings. We saw the young country phenom, Tana Matz, who we have seen play in the past, will be at the Kayak on Friday. Her performance is well worth a visit. The True Blue duo sounds fun and the Sunday nigh performer, Steve Free, is an internationally accomplished singer/songwriter that we can't wait to see. How in the world did they ever get him to play the Kayak. Down the road at the Front Street is another cool weekend lineup of music, including the Julie Stithcomb Quintet. This Quintet plays the old "big band-like" favorites---Excellent. We have in the past gone back and forth between the Green Kayak and Front Street to enjoy the music and it looks like this will need to be a regular practice this summer if this weekend is any indicator of the quality of entertainment in this historic Village......

From the rumor standpoint, we hear that the Green Kayak may be opening a B&B above the Market. If that's true, we can spend even more time in the Village after visits to the Kayak, Skippers and Front Street and the oh-so-cool Kayak Ramp. We'll fill you in after we learn more.....
