With river programs aboard the Blackstone Valley
Explorer, a 49-passenger riverboat, nearly curtailed for the
2009 season, local organizers are planning a funtastic
fundraiser to Keep the Boat Afloat on Tuesday, June 30th at
The Blackstone, Hope Artiste Village, 1005 Main Street,
Pawtucket from 6-10 pm.
The Blackstone Valley Explorer, a 49-passenger riverboat,
is the only boat of its kind on the Blackstone River and has
been offering river education programs and public tours
since 1993. School children, seniors, and visitors to the
area have enjoyed the river programs provided by the
Blackstone Valley Tourism Council. Under current economic
conditions, keeping the Blackstone Valley Explorer in
operation is fraught with financial difficulty and this
year’s limited tour season was nearly landlocked.
If you have enjoyed a cruise aboard the Blackstone Valley
Explorer with your friends and family or with your school,
senior group or bus group; please help us Keep the Boat
Afloat exploring the Blackstone River by reserving your
tickets now this fundraiser. Tickets are only $20.00 and
include food, entertainment, and vendor market fair. A
silent auction is also planned for this event. For more
information of if you would like to donate an item for the
silent auction contact Patti McAlpine or Bob Billington at
401-724-2200.
