Seniors Cruise Sets Sail

Good music, good weather, good food. That was the reaction from many residents attending the annual Seniors Cruise aboard the Duc D'Orleans Monday afternoon.

Run entirely by goodwill tradition and volunteers, residents were provided with lunch, music, good company, and of course, a scenic tour of the St. Clair River.

Many people told BlackburnNews.com they already can't wait for next year!
