Quad Cities, USA -  The Discovery Channel will be premiering the program "River Warriors" this Thursday, June 10th at 8pm CST.  The program is about the work the Living Lands and Waters (LLW) Crew does on the Mississippi River and is hosted by Mike Rowe.  Please see this link for to the Discovery Channel for more information: http://dsc.discovery.com/tv-schedules/special.html?paid=1.14951.26200.0.0.

Help us celebrate this Premiere at The Capitol Theatre, 330 West 3rd Street, Davenport, IA on Thursday, June 10th.  This free event is co-hosted by The River Music Experience and The Capitol Theatre.  Doors will open at 7pm, Ellis Kell and Andrew Landers will perform a set prior to the show and then the show will begin at 8:00pm.  "Even if you haven't been to a cleanup, please feel free to come to this event and help us celebrate", says Chad Pregracke, Founder and President of LLW.

"The Discovery Channel is airing our program after a documentary on the oil spill in the Gulf," says Pregracke, "The Discovery Channel did this to give people hope and a way to help out.  I think we all feel so helpless when we see what's happening down there.  What we do up here eventually reaches the Gulf.  So, we hope our program inspires people to get involved.

Living Lands & Waters is a 501(c) (3) environmental organization established in 1998 and headquartered in East Moline, Illinois. Beyond Community River Cleanups such as the "Great Mississippi River Cleanup", LL&W conducts Big River Educational Workshops, the MillionTrees Project, the Riverbottom Forest Restoration and the Adopt-a-River Mile program on both the Mississippi River and the Illinois River.
