Emjoy the stench at the fireworks show tonight

From my inbox:

Rainfall in the City of Peoria has caused a sewer overflow into the Illinois River recently from one or more locations shown on the map located here.

When this warning is posted, please avoid full-body contact with the Illinois River in the area downstream from Detweiller Marina, as shown on the map. You may get sick if you swallow river water while swimming, Jet Skiing, or water skiing in these areas after a sewer overflow.

The City of Peoria is developing a long-term plan to reduce sewage overflows to the river during wet weather, as required under the Clean Water Act.

    Ah, the B.O. from the mass of assembled humanity will whisk that sewage odor away. The smell of B.O. and funnel cakes — can’t wait!

    I don’t think this is pissing money away. The fireworks are excellent.

    Peoria – Gosh, we not only have Steamboat Days, we also have Brown Trout Days!

    Billy, do you know where I can get a t-shirt? Is anyone working on designing the rides? Could we fundraise similar to rubber duckling races?
