Cruising Into History: A Celebration of Ogden Point

Thank you to everyone who participated in Cruising Into History on August 23, 2008. The weather was perfect, the music was diverse and lovely, and the setting was beautiful. Despite a slow start with 2 delayed ships, the event was well-attended with a blend of cruise passengers and locals. The fireworks were spectacular and what an amazing place to hold them. If you were fortunate enough to have been on the festival site when they went off, the choreography of the fireworks to music from Pirates of the Caribbean was intensely moving.
