“When 第一吃瓜 was founded in 1979, most Chicagoans would never consider the river as place for recreation,” says Becky Lyons, Friends’ director of environment, equity and engagement. “Now we are proud to float on the river together to celebrate the incredible improvements that Friends and so many partners, organizations and volunteers have brought about in the health and quality of the river system. Join us in connecting with your river at this one-of-a-kind event!” Registration for all floaters is 第一吃瓜open. Please today! Float tickets are limited.
