Awesome Fun Show
Just saw this this weekend and loved it. The show is free, they just ask for donations. It is on the Rock River. there were about 70 skiers, they do a little of everything from towers to jumps. The skiers are of all ages from five to ????, and they were all good. Grandchildren also enjoyed it.

Good Show
All the people in the show are volunteers yet go to competitions and come back with high rankings. Nice breeze along the Rock river and very nice views. Well worth going to as you can't do much of any type entertainment for just a donation. They are bleachers but you are allowed to bring lawn chair if you like. Great family outing!

Relaxing Evening on the River+Talented Waterskiing
Take a 2-hour break and relax along the Rock River in Rock Island. The setting is peaceful and the ski show is high energy. A great family night out. Get there 45 minutes before the show to select a bleacher seat smack dab in the center. The skiers range in ages, they’re talented and enthusiastic; and the show is a wonderful taste of the Midwest.
