The Burger Boat owner Wally Geffert (right, with brimmed hat) and his daughter Becka were on the water at Lake Potter to grill Floatzilla Festival folks’ lunches to order, featuring burgers, brats, chicken, pork-ts and drinks. Ever eaten a burger in a kayak? The Rock River Times’ Editor & Publisher Frank Schier is now a fan of the Burger Boat, by land. (Photo by Frank Schier)
Besides the art tugboat, the Living Lands and Waters floatilla consists of two garbage barges in the foreground with the home barge in the background that has a classroom, dorm rooms, offices and crew quarters on board. Pregracke is a supporter of the arts and a real recycler. Artists from Chicago were on board, picking items out of the Mississippi refuse to create found art pieces. Pregracke pilots the barges on the Mississippi picking up all kinds of refuse and running educational programs on the environment. For information, go to www.livinglandsandwaters.org.
