    Cruising
    down the river on a Sunday afternoon, there's just nothing like it -
    especially on an historic paddlewheel steamboat! Help us celebrate the
    Belle's remarkable 93rd season with Kentucky Bluegrass Riverstyle. From
    the earliest flatboats, to the grand floating palaces, to the waning
    days of steam packet boats, string band music has been the voice of the
    community along the Ohio Valley. On this cruise, listen - or dance! -
    to the sounds of Goober Says Hey, a lively bluegrass band.
