TV'S RED GREEN MAY COME TO ERIE

For those wondering what in the world this post might have to do with the subject of this blog, please keep reading.

According to a story published on Friday, July 18 in the Hamilton Spectator, Steve Smith, star of PBS' Red Green series, recently purchased a new houseboat in Mississippi, with plans to take the vessel back to his native Hamilton, Ontario via the Mississippi River and the Great Lakes. However, flood currents on the Mississippi River delayed the voyage in Kentucky, where Smith decided to have the houseboat disassembled, and, beginning July 27, trucked across several states.

The houseboat's final destination via truck is Erie, Pennsylvania, meaning Smith will likely get to Erie with the boat. Here in Erie, the houseboat will be reassembled, placed in the water, and sailed down the Welland Canal sometime in August.
