...rest from this heartburn-inducing ordeal, the crowd shopped for squid- marked souvenirs, such as T shirts, potholders and aprons, or for fleece boots and vests, or viewed some of the scientific exhibitions showing squid and other marine animals in various stages of development. Children could have squid (or flowers or birds) painted on their faces at one booth, and, at another, they could paint alcohol-preserved squid, then make a print of their work on white paper to take home and hang in their rooms.

Many had thought a bill passed by the Missouri legislature in April would ban ATVs in the river; the new law requires riders to have a landowner's permission to ride the river. The catch is that much of the Black River is still unposted, and the law has failed to halt the nightmare.
