It looks like a little bit of rain on Saturday morning is the only thing that marred the Ohio River Sternwheel Festival.
Otherwise, crowds were good for Friday and Saturday night's entertainment, Saturday night's fireworks, and...as you can see here...Sunday afternoon's sternwheel races.
Evie Bryant, the festival's Director-General, estimates 75,000 attended the three-day celebration of the river near downtown Marietta.
Bryant says that, while they might not have set a record, crowds were above average for the event.
A performance by the 50's group the Platters capped off the weekend Sunday afternoon.
