Hey Country Squire! Remember the sleepovers from the good old days? Weren’t they fun? What if you had the opportunity to do it again, as an adult, but this time it’s under the stars on the bay of the Mississippi River!

Yes folks, you heard right. It’s a sleepover on the Mississippi River! Doesn’t that sound like fun? You can have your own ‘camping’ adventure with no insect and grizzly bear infested foliage. This all takes place at the Mud Island River Park, this Friday, August 13th. Don’t let the fact that it’s Friday the 13th scare you! The fear element may even make the experience that much more fun!

To attend this sleepover, all you have to do is bring a sleeping bag. Mud Island River Park is providing a 12’x12’ tent, dinner, live entertainment, recreational activities, campfire with marshmallows, and breakfast. You can’t beat that!

There is a catch, however. You have to register in advance since spots are limited. We all know that the entire metro-Memphis area can’t camp out on the Mississippi River.  For more information, call (901) 458 – 2678. If you miss this opportunity and really want to participate, don’t worry! The next available dates are:9/10, and 10/08. I don’t believe November and December dates are available due to the cold weather. So plan ahead, and get ready to Sleep Out on the Mississippi!
