What a terrific celebration!  We made a point of including the 30th annual Germanfest at Guttenberg in our weekend plans, and it did not disappoint.  The pretty Mississippi River town showed off its charms and celebrated its heritage with a street festival right on beautiful River Park Drive, September 24-25, 2021.

The Great River Road is a long-time favorite of mine.  Yesterday's short trip upstream was in itself enjoyable enough to make the day a success
