This post documents my experience on September 17, 2016.
When I got to the picturesque town of Pomeroy…
…it was easy to find where the Pomeroy Sternwheel Riverfest was taking place…
…you just had to look for the boats.
Unfortunately, when I arrived, the rain (I believe) canceled the Chili Cook-Off…
…as well as the talent show at the stage area below.
So there weren’t too many people looking at the craft vendors…
…buying from the merchandise booths…
…or registering to vote.
Some festival goers were wandering into the food area…
…where there were roast beef sandwiches and BBQ.
But the majority of people were either checking out or hanging out on the 13 paddle boats below…
…usually with a cold beer in hand to help ward off the sun.
