POMEROY — Many senior citizens, Rock Springs Rehabilitation Center patients and Carleton School and Workshop participants were treated to a special cruise on the Sternwheel Ruble Friday afternoon as a part of Riverfest.
The hour-long cruise gave the participants not only a look of the Bend area from the center of the river but also included entertainment by humorous story tellers, Donna Wilson and Suzanne Holstein, also known as “Granny Sue,” and musician, Jeff Seager. The artists are part of the River’s Edge Program funded by the Ohio River Border Initiative through programming in cooperation with the Ohio Arts Council.
For most of those on the cruise, it was a “first.” They seemed to enjoy every minute of it.
