I will be there. I live one hour away.
I am ready for the cruise Thursday night (rain permitting) and Saturday looks to have perfect weather. Premium parking this year for me. I am tired walking the back forty.

Oh, yeah, I can't wait.

I live a hour from Effingham and was there Thursday night for the cruise event downtown. The weather was fine.*Forecast is 80% chance of rain on Friday, 10% Saturday and 0% sunday. You need a smartphone.

I'm heading back Saturday! !
