Rock Island, IL/August, 2015 - Living Lands & Waters' (LL&W) 2015 Barge Party is coming up Thursday, August 7th from 5:30pm-9:00pm!  This event serves as a thank you to sponsors and supporters for their continuous dedication to helping LL&W thrive.  The night's festivities start with a fish fry & shrimp boil, a silent art auction, a cash bar, a meet and greet with the crew, and a wine pull! Of course, it wouldn't be a true celebration without live music! This year's lineup includes two local acts; Justin Morrisey and The Dawn, as well as Memphis native, Mara Daniele.

About Living Lands & Waters - Chad Pregracke started Living Lands & Waters in 1998 as a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the beautification and restoration of America's major rivers and to the education of people about environmental issues. From his single boat beginning, LL&W has grown to an internationally known organization with a fleet of barges and workboats.  LL&W engages thousands of volunteers each year in river cleanups, hands-on environmental education workshops, the Great Mississippi River Cleanup, Adopt-a- River-Mile programs and the Million Trees Project.
