Natrona Comes Together Association to host RiverQuest programs August 15

RiverQuest will travel up the Allegheny River on Friday, August 15 to provide a day of river education programs to residents of Natrona, PA, hosted by Natrona Comes Together Association (NCTA).  Three environmental science-themed river tours for all ages will be conducted on the 60-foot pontoon boat Miss Pittsburgh. 

NCTA is a grassroots, nonprofit neighborhood organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for all Natrona residents. Pat Walters, NCTA Secretary and Event Chairperson, values the opportunities our rivers provide.  "As a former 'river rat' who must be able to swim the river from shore to shore, I feel that our river is not as appreciated as it should be," Walters says.  "Our group is dedicated to improving our riverfront as well as teaching local residents about one of our greatest assets--particularly the children." NCTA will be selling tickets in advance of the event, and boatside if available on the day of the event, and all kid-residents participating will get a free sailor hat courtesy of NCTA.  

NCTA will also host tours of Lock #4 in Natrona earlier in the month (August 4) at no cost to interested residents.Allegheny Lock # 4 has the distinction of being on the National Register of Historic Places for its history, architecture, and significance to the region.
