Registration now open for riverfront golf cart tours
Sign-up today for September 9 guided tours of QCA riverfronts
Come join the fun and sign up for the 11th Annual Senior Citizens Riverfront Golf Cart Tours Thursday, September 9.
The tours use existing riverfront trails and offer participants an opportunity to see and hear all that the riverfront has to offer from the front seat of a golf cart.
This is a great opportunity to gain some knowledge on the past, present and future of many of our riverfront amenities in the Quad Cities. Tours fill up fast and carts are limited, so don't delay.
