FORT MADISON - The Fort Madison Marina committee is asking southeast Iowa to Get on Board!

“This public fundraiser kick-off event is geared towards everyone who has an interest in supporting Fort Madison’s riverfront project,” says Rebecca Bowker, one of the event planners.  “We want area residents to know that they do not have to be boaters to enjoy and benefit from the revitalized Marina docks, walkways and facility, but, of course if they have a boat, we will have slips available. And we are offering a variety of ways to participate in the fundraising campaign.”

The event starts at 5 p.m. and will be held at the marina launch location accessible from the 6^th Street entrance. Thin Blue Line Productions will provide entertainment, 10^th Street Station of River Rocks will cater food, and River Rocks will have beverages for sale. Some complimentary beverages will be available as well.

“What is really exciting about this event is the auction starting at 7 pm,” states Bowker. “The committee has put together items that will appeal to boaters and non-boaters alike.” A full list of auction items will be available on the Fort Madison Marina Facebook page as well as available that evening.

So make plans to swing by the Fort Madison Marina on Thursday Sept. 1^st beginning at 5pm.
