Patrons will not only sample some of the best pulled pork to be had in these parts; they'll delight in wings, ribs, stew and a host of our southern delectables. Check back soon for a list of participating restaurants.

Seven Hills Rotary Club Ducky Derby

The Seven Hills Rotary Club will once again be on hand to launch ducks from the Robert Redden footbridge on the Oostanaula. The ducks will float past the River Revelry venue with the winning duck being the first to reach the finish line at the Heritage Park boat ramp. Duck numbers will be assigned to all entrants and the winning number and name will be announced at River Revelry.

Ducky Derby Duck are $5 each and may be purchased online with your River Revelry tickets or around town from Seven Hills Rotary Club members.

New Belgium Brewing Co. Beer

New Belgium Brewing Co. and Eagle Rock Distributing will provide a selection of beer for the evening. Last year's River Revelry favorites from the Ft. Collins, Colorado-based brewery included Fat Tire Ale, an amber ale, and 1554, an enlightened black ale. This year, beer lovers will not be disappointed! Bring your thirst and your taste for some of America's best specialty brews.

Redwood Creek Wines

Redwood Creek Wines from Modesto, California will provide the wine for the evening. Redwood Creek Wines earlier this year selected CRBI as one of its recipients of a $10,000 grant to improve access to the great outdoors, and CRBI is now in competition with nine other organizations across the country to win an additional $40,000 from the winemaker. The winner of the $50,000 grant will be determined by online voting at the Greater Outdoors Project website. Voting ends Aug. 31 so River Revelry will be our final opportunity to push CRBI to the top of the voting list!
