TRF and July 13

I heard on TV this morning that this is the 53rd year for the Three Rivers Festival so I guess it's been going on a little longer than I remembered.  I thought it was 51 years.  My husband and I were married on this date 51 years ago and I tend to relate the festival week to our anniversary.  I must say though, I think this is the noisiest TRF I remember, and I haven't even been out in it yet.  All day helicopters have been flying over; boats full of talking, laughing people have been going up and down the river; and music has been wafting through the air all afternoon and evening.  It's a great festival from a distance.
