...Cheeseburger in paradise!




It's almost time for The River Rat Retreat's Third Annual Flag-wavin, Beer-swillin, Cheeseburger in Paradisepalooza!




And all my bloggity friends are invited.

See...from our one, particular harbor...uh...wait...got a little carried away with the Buffett lyrics.

From our little vantage point on the river, we have great views of both Chillicothe and Peoria's fireworks celebrations. The past couple of years, we've shared the day and our great view with just a few close friends...but this year we've decided that we wanted to have a big whoop-te-doo...so we're gonna.



The festivities will kick off on Saturday, July 4th (duh) at 4 pm or thereabouts... and continue on until the last dog is hung. So to speak.

If you'd like to attend our little soiree, shoot me an email (follow that little link over there......> on the sidebar)...and I'll send ya all the gory details.



If you like spectacular fireworks, great food and laughing til your face hurts, I'm reasonably sure you'll have a great time. And, if you're really lucky, you'll get to hear da Zigster and his bud do show tunes...like "Oklahoma"...at the top of their lungs.

It ain't pretty. But it's pretty damn entertaining.
