The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Mississippi River Project announces they will be offering the first opportunity for the public to attend a free boating safety education class this Saturday April 2nd. The class will run from 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. This class is recommended for people who are new to boating on the Mississippi River, families that enjoy weekend boating adventures, or seasoned boaters who would just like to brush up on their safe boating knowledge. Anyone age 12 and older can be certified. This is a classroom based safety course and will not include any on-the-water experience. Upon successful completion of the class and exam, participants will be issued an Illinois DNR Boat Safety Certification which is honored in both Iowa and Illinois. If you cannot attend the class on April 2nd there will be three other opportunities to take the class in April on the 9th, 16th, and 23rd.These classes will be held at the Mississippi River Project Office at Locks and Dam 14 in Pleasant Valley, Iowa. Pre-registration is recommended as space is limited, and the classes fill quickly. To register, contact the Mississippi River Visitor Center at (309) 794-5338.
