The rock band Lucky Drag preformed on the Mary’s Music stage at the Clarksville’s 2010 Riverfest Celebration. The Nashville based band features lead singer Erik Hendrickson, Jason Yates on bass, Danny Berrios on drums, and with “more-than-occasional help” from Denny Smith on the guitar.

Activities at Riverfest- A Success
Riverfest was not just about the music and arts this year- the activities took center stage as well! Back this year, by popular demand- Wait Staff Wars sponsored by Chefmart. Servers from The Hilton Garden Inn and Edward’s Steakhouse battled it out to see who would take the top prize. After a series of tasks that tested their serving skills, The Hilton Garden Inn pulled ahead and won the contest. Servers from Edward’s Steakhouse did not go home empty handed, they won the award for “Best Customer Service”
New to Riverfest this year- the Cornhole Tournament! Over 20 teams registered for the free tournament that was held Saturday, September 11th at 2:00pm. Smith Contractors won the ACA sanctioned tournament in the final double elimination round against The Pole Crew. The winning team received gift cards and goodie bags courtesy of O’Charleys.

Riverfest was truly bigger and better than ever!
It’s been several days after the end of the 2010 Riverfest Celebration, and for those who worked the two day festival, life is returning to normal. The hard working folks with the Clarksville Department of Parks & Recreation along the entertainers, and hundreds of volunteers ensured that the visitors could simply enjoy some good wholesome family fun.
This was the first year that Clarksville Online and Discover Clarksville was selected to document the festival as much as was humanly possible. Roland Woodworth, Ashley and Meghan Hamilton, and Bill Larson were given the job of photographing everything in the tiniest of detail, while Mark Haynes shot hours and hours of raw video footage, and Sue Culverhouse took it all in to get material for her wonderful articles!
Intermittent rain plagued Riverfest early on Friday afternoon.

Clarksville Art Scene Is Alive and Thriving at Riverfest
A former resident of the Boston and Washington, D.C. areas, I have been fortunate to see some great artworks in my life. I’ve also witnessed the recent “Emperor’s New Clothes” variety (otherwise called “modern art” by some). My feelings towards some of the obscenities fostered on the public in recent years as “art” cannot be printed in this format. One only has to walk through the National Art Gallery where the display is chronological to see how talent somehow was replaced with publicity stunts to see how some artists have sold their souls to pure unadulterated “selling a bill of goods to the unsuspecting” to see what I mean.

Riverfest – Council Boat Race and More
by Councilman Bill Summers
Just a reminder that Riverfest starts today and runs through tomorrow.
Tomorrow morning, around 9:30am, the annual cardboard racing schedule will take place at the river. The city council is a heavy favorite with their new big, bad and bodacious “Dragon” boat to beat all comers in the city department division race. The “Dragon” will be waiting at the finish line to feast on the half-sunken carcasses of their competition as they slowly float by. Four council members, to include myself, will be rowing the “Dragon”. Come and have a laugh and see who wins, sinks or never makes it from the dock.
There will be plenty of music, food and fun for everyone. Around dark on Saturday, a lighted boat parade will also take place.
So come on down and hopefully the rain will stay away. Check out this website for more details: www.clarksvilleriverfest.com
Hope to see you there.
