Muscatine Event Turns to Paddle Boats Due to Flooding

By Becky Ogann

MUSCATINE (AP) - Boats will still take to the Mississippi River this weekend in Muscatine, but don't expect roaring engines or sprays of water.

Because of flooding, paddle boats will replace racing boats as part of the "That Was Then, This Is Now" event on the city's riverfront. The river was expected to crest Thursday at nearly two feet over flood stage.

Rather than watching racing boats, teams can race on two "tricked-out" paddle boats.

Racing boats still will be on display on the riverfront from Friday through Sunday.
