PARKERSBURG, W.Va. - A sternwheeler ride on the Ohio River, dinner and Motown-sound concert is a winning combination Friday, Sept. 6 in Parkersburg.
Purchase your ticket and board the Island Belle sternwheeler for a country-style dinner and boat ride. Upon return to Point Park, enjoy the evening concert presented by Downtown PKB.
A sternwheeler cruise and dinner begins at 6 p.m. with the Island Belle departing Point Park in downtown Parkersburg. The boat returns to Point Park at 7:30 p.m. for guests to enjoy a Point Park Music Series concert presented by Downtown PKB.
The cost of the ticket (includes river cruise and dinner) is $25 and $20 for children ages 3-12. The dinner menu offers a choice of one entrée (baked steak or pan-fried chicken), with country-style green beans, baked potato, house salad, roll with butter, dessert and bottled water or soft drink (vegetarian menu available upon request). Seating is limited and advance reservations are required.
To purchase tickets for the dinner cruise, call Blennerhassett Island State Park office at 304-420-4800.
The Point Park Concert for Friday, Sept. 6 is Who’s Bad — A Tribute to Michael Jackson.
As the longest-running Michael Jackson tribute band, and the only one to predate his untimely passing, Who’s Bad has awed even the skeptics, selling out nearly 50 venues in the United Kingdom, including London’s O2 in December 2010, the venue where the King of Pop was slated to end his career with a 50-show “This Is It” concert series.
