La Crosse welcomes first paddlewheeler of the season
If you go to Riverside Park in La Crosse for the Moon Tunes concert tonight, you’ll get to see the first big paddlewheeler to stop on the riverfront this season.
The Queen of the Mississippi will be docked at the park until about 6 p.m.
It’s the first of 20 scheduled visits by the big cruise boats between now and mid-October.
Two of those boats actually will be together on the waterfront at the same time this weekend.
The American Queen and American Duchess both are expected to dock at the park between noon and 5 p.m. on Saturday.
