Ohio River Cruise

Belmont SWCD, Jefferson SWCD, and Harrison SWCD are holding a 2016 Ohio River Cruise with Chad Pregracke, Founder of Living Lands and Waters and 2013 CNN Hero of the Year, on September 10, 2016. We are offering two ticket options-a boarding pass for $50 or a VIP ticket for $150. The Pittsburg Princess Riverboat vessel will include a luncheon buffet and the opportunity to enjoy Chad Pregracke’s one-man crusade to clean up American Rivers. The VIP ticket will include the above along with a separate reception following the sail that features a photo opportunity with Chad, a copy of his signed book, and cocktails and hors d’ oeuvres. The sail will start from Steubenville’s Marina in Jefferson County and sail for two hours. Tickets will be available starting December 18, 2015. This would be a great Christmas stocking stuffer.

Don’t miss out on this exciting opportunity to learn about the beauties of the Ohio River and the efforts put forth by others to protect it and how you could contribute and be aware of the impacts that pollution does to our waters. Space is limited.

To purchase tickets, contact Jefferson SWCD at 740-264-9790. If you have any questions or need more information, contact Belmont SWCD at (740) 526-0027.
