The 10th Anniversary downriver Knights Cruise! The prequel, and fundraiser, to our annual Downriver Knights Family Picnic was held on Tuesday, July 19, 2022. One hundred and fifty of us (representing 8 KofC councils) gathered on the Diamond Queen this year as the Diamond Jack had been sold (and is currently doing tours up in Charlevoix). We went north up the Detroit River, enjoying the breeze and viewing the sites, such as the new supports of the Gordie Howe bridge.
From the feedback received everyone had a great time onboard while enjoying pizza, veggies, cookies, assorted libations, and the serenading by Pamala Jackson. We were also accompanied by our Worthy Immediate Past State Deputy Walter Winkle and his wife Karen, and State Treasurer Charlie McCuen and his wife Pamela. My weather prediction this year was slightly off… when tickets for the event went on sale in May I predicted 78 degrees and clear, sunny skies. When we docked it was 80 degrees, and still clear…but not as sunny.
Plan on joining us next year and having a great time while supporting our annual Downriver Knights family picnic! And don't forget...this year's picnic is Saturday, August 27th at Centennial Farm.
