 A River Eulogy: Father & Daughter Paddling the Mississippi River to Commemorate the Victims of Covid-19
BWCA - main floor Sat 4:30pm-5:15pm 
Bear - upstairs Sun 2:30pm-3:15pm 
'A River Eulogy' is a 2021 paddling expedition that follows a father and daughter who, although almost diametrically opposed in terms of identity, politics, and worldviews, end up in a canoe together on the Mississippi River for 103 days.

In the midst of an era defined by division and polarization, these two find a common quest to commemorate the victims of Covid-19 as they paddle through America's Heartland and into its Deep South, trying to find peace in each other and their country along the way.
