Ahoy there! All aboard the Anson Northrup at 7:00 pm for a 7:30 pm departure! We’ll spend 3 hours cruisin’ the Mississippi River on a paddleboat for a relaxing end to the conference. Dinner’s buffet style, and of course, we’ll dance ‘til we drop. The boats have plenty of indoor space, so we’re headed out rain or shine! All the fun you can have for just $49.50!

According to the company’s Web site, the ship was named for the Minnesota pioneer who operated one of the first boats above St. Anthony Falls, and was built specifically for the Minneapolis harbor. Put in service in 1988, it is 92 feet long and 33 feet wide. Both decks are heated and air conditioned, capacity 350.
