From river clean-ups to river races, from river fish to river towns, the crew at Rivermiles has been bringing the Missouri River into the living rooms of Missouri PBS viewers. Rivermiles host and producer Jodi Pfefferkorn will share some great clips and stories with us about their adventures on the river.

How does muddy river water get turned into drinking water? Where on the river can you get a cigar, tour an old boat and find the most varieties of hot sauce? What bait do fisheries biologists use? Find the answers to these questions and more!

Directions

• Take I-70 to the Rocheport, MO, exit (Exit #115). It's the first exit east of the Missouri River.
• Head north toward Rocheport.
• After about a mile, turn left at the sign for Les Bourgeois Bistro. Follow the signs to the Bistro. You will probably need to park in the lot above the Bistro and walk the trail down.
• The presentations are held in the lower level. You can either enter at the restaurant entrance then go down the stairs to your left past the bar, or you can follow the walk to the right of the restaurant and enter through a glass door into the lower level.
