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!

The event was initiated 37 years ago by the late Peter Henderson of CHOK. More than 1,000 seniors enjoy free cruises on the St. Clair River each year.
