Fields of Gettysburg at the People's Bank Theatre

I love stories, and I love music. I love it best when the two are combined. When I was young, I would spend hours after band practice sitting in my basement and listening to my father's worn out vinyl of Jesus Christ Superstar. It wasn't (and isn't) a soundtrack. It was narrative in song. Since then I've discovered, and loved, similar albums such as Drive-By Trucker's Southern Rock Opera. I've just fallen in love with this whole genre.

Friday, I had the opportunity to learn about another great addition to my list.

Marietta's Sternwheeler Festival 2015

One of the coolest things about living on a major river is the sternwheelers: big boats driven up and down the Ohio River by a huge steam-turned paddle wheel. It's like the little pedal powered swan boats that I puttered around on a lake, but on steroids.

Marietta's Rivers, Trails, and Ales 2015

While I love these colder fall days, it does make me think back to the warmer summer months, when Marietta still had green leaves and small festivals seemed to happen every weekend. On one such weekend Marietta became a gathering place of beer-drinking outdoors(wo)men. The wonderful Hallie of Marietta Adventure Company, whom I love working with, organized the River, Trails, and Ales Festival: four days of paddling, biking, drinking, and music for the enjoyment of Southeast Ohio.
