The event will be held at the St. Louis Riverfront, on the cobblestone, just below the Arch. Anheuser-Busch typically sets up a large white registration tent in the center of the riverfront, up near the street...you can't miss it. At the tent is where the all volunteers will register, get their t-shirt, sunscreen, etc. Volunteers are told to come at 8:30a, and will depart in boats at 9am. They will all be out on the river, collecting garbage and placing it in piles along the shoreline till about noon. After that, everyone will head back to the riverfront where A-B will have lunch catered (and free beer:)). Everyone's usually gone by 1p...
They have about 200 volunteers from A-B. They can handle many more than that, so ANYONE with River Kids may join in the fun. Just show up downtown in the morning.
Kids as young as 6 could come, but parents will have to supervise closely. There are boat rides involved if you choose to travel out to a cleaning location with LL&W.
Please remember to wear rubber boots if possible (or old shoes that don't matter to you at all) and bring work gloves if you have them. You may also want to wear a hat...and perhaps any River Kids gear you might want to show off. I'll have some extra t-shirts there for folks who don't yet have one.
LL&W will provide the rest.
