FOGHORN FOLLIES HIGHLIGHT CAPE STEAMBOAT RACE STOP

Two riverboats will dock today at Riverfront Park for a stop before racing up the Mississippi River.

The Mississippi Queen and Delta Queen are scheduled to stop in Cape Girardeau as part of the Great Steamboat Race between New Orleans and St. Louis. The boats will dock from 8 to noon.

During the stop, passengers from the two boats will present the annual Captain Foghorn Follies at Courthouse Park Pavilion at 10 a.m. They will compete for prizes and the designation of the boat with the most talent.

Four dockings are scheduled here next week, starting today with the Mississippi Queen and Delta Queen. The River Explorer of the River Barge Excursion Line will dock at Riverfront Park at about 3 a.m. Wednesday, and on Thursday the American Queen of the Delta Queen Steamboat Co. will make an unscheduled stop at Cape Girardeau from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
