I don’t remember what year it was, but it was probably sometime in the mid-80s, and I was somewhere between the ages of 7-11. Anyway, the B1-Bs were at McConnell then, and they did a fly-over that year before the fireworks. Just about dusk, a B1 flew really low over the river. You could see the flames from the engines, the roar was deafening, the ground was shaking. It was about the coolest thing ever for a kid interested in planes.

I’m sure that current regulations would prevent something like that these days (it was flying REALLY low), but I still remember those sights and sounds over twenty years later.

my favorite memory from the riverfest is when I was 18, so in ‘04.. I went with a group of friends, some who had just returned home from Iraq, we walked around it and enjoyed the activities all day long and we sooo tired by the time the sun went down we almost fell asleep during the fireworks and then when we all got back to the hotel rooms, we all realized we looked like lobsters from being so sunburnt.. The whole time we walked around, we just laughed and messed with one another and just were kids again..

Riverfest 2001 was the best for me. I had decided to run the 10k with my Dad who had been running this event every year for 20 years except 1 when he had by-pass surgery. This was my first time, and I thought I wouldn’t have too tough a time completing it. I had lost 35 lbs, been training for 4 months, yea - I had it all figured out. HA! I finished the race - dead last, but I did finish. Dad had finished long before me, came back to find me and then ran and finished again with me! Of course he told me, “don’t feel too bad honey, the 90-yr. old only beat you by 15 minutes! Later Dad called me to see how was doing and I explained that I would barely move! He told me he felt pretty good and had just finished mowing the yard. That year - I was 47 and Dad was 80! But it was great sharing that experience with him. Something I’ll never forget.

This year, 2008, was my first year running the 10K. I’d trained for over 2 months in preperation for the event. Before the race, I found my friend Ross. Without him it would have been extremely hard to get the time I got, which was 53:55. Ross, who has longer legs than me, finished with a time of 53:54, and got 3rd place in the male, under 12 division. During the time that I was training, I was usually doing 10 minute miles. I feel really proud of what I’ve done since it was my first time doing the 10K. I’d also like to congratulate my friend Ross on doing so well also. Great Job Ross!
