Marietta's Sternwheel Festival

Every year in Marietta, this lovely little town hosts the Sternwheel Festival -- a terrific event which lines the banks of the Ohio River and Muskingum Rivers with all sorts of sternwheel powered vessels...



Marietta has made an entire event of it complete with car shows, concerts, and lots and lots of food...



Of course, when it comes to my kids, the best part of the Sternwheel Festival is the myriad of junk food available. Despite my repeated request that everyone smile for the camera, the boys just couldn’t turn around for fear that another of them would snap up the rest of the food on my lovely wife Cari’s plate…



Sort of reminds you of a mother bird surrounded by screeching hatchlings.
