Trenton Rotary hosts the 61st annual Roar on the River

The Trenton Rotary Club, which plans and organizes the nonprofit event as a community service project, is looking at 2011 as a “recovery year” from the disastrous 2010 opening when severe weather washed out the Friday night party and outdoor concert, and resulted in the cancellation or scaling down of other events throughout the weekend. The field will include defending 120s champ Butch Ott of Stoney Point, Ontario, and leading tour contenders Steven Dawe and R.J. West, both of California. The racing contingent also will feature some of Michigan’s best drivers, including Steve Merleau of St. Joseph, Gary Barber of Bay City, Kurt McCourtie of Jackson, Amanda Hagerl of Marquette, as well as tour rookies Dustin Fierek and Jim McGuire of Drummond Island and Bay City, respectively. Modeled after American Idol, the competition will be divided into divisions of youths and teen (8-17 years) and adults (18-plus). All participants will be required to sing a song of their choice without any background music for preliminary auditions on Saturday. If chosen to move to the final round, competitors must be prepared to perform a different song of their choice. The final round will be sung to background music. There also will be added activities for young children both days, thanks to lead sponsor PNC Bank sending its Mobile Learning Adventure Center, which provides an interactive experience geared mainly toward children 5 and younger. Plus, the annual MBT Downriver Fun Fair will return, as well. Other features include special visits by the Detroit Pistons Automotion Dancers, a climbing wall and a bungee jumper.
