Annual dry dock fundraiser begins at Missouri River Boat Club

SIOUX CITY (KTIV) – The Missouri River Boat Club’s annual fundraiser, Dry the Dock, kicks off with the Wet Dock Party on Saturday, July 13. The Wet Dock Party will kick off the evening’s festivities from 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. at 1085 Council Oaks Drive, behind the ball fields at Riverside Park.

There will also be live performances during the night. Organisers say: “The festivities include the infamous Replay Bank performances from 3pm-6pm and the Derek Post Band accompanying the crowd into the night from 7pm-11pm.

The party will also feature a selection of mixed drinks, juices, sodas, and local and craft beers available for purchase anytime between 3:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. Free hot dogs and hamburgers will also be served during the event.

“We have served generations and made countless friends and memories over the years. Despite the recent flooding, we are going strong and have plans to rebuild the waterfront area and the lost or damaged docks. We are eternally grateful to our generous volunteers, sponsors, supporters, local banks and contractors who helped us reopen our new clubhouse, which will open to the public in October 2023. It is a great asset and survived the recent flooding. The water approached the grass and the clubhouse sat safely on higher ground,” said Dennis Butler, fleet captain of the Missouri River Boat Club.

Event organizers say the newly renovated clubhouse “offers more indoor space with handicap accessible bathrooms, patio and two new bars (one indoor and one outdoor). The bar’s beautiful ambience is sure to provide our members and the public with excellent bar service, fun and socializing for decades to come. Guests can come on foot, by bike, motorcycle, boat or car – everyone is welcome!”

According to the Missouri River Boat Club, tickets can currently be purchased on-site at the Missouri River Boat Club’s Bent Pop Bar for $25 per person. They will also be available at the door the day of the event.
