Backwater Gamblers Return After A Year With No Shows
After a year of no shows because of COVID-19 restrictions, the Quad Cities favorite water ski show returns!
The theme of the 2021 season is "Boomtown," and judging by this photo of Michaels, it's safe to say there's cowboys involved.

Their first show was last night, but if you missed, they have another one tonight (May 31st) at 6:30pm, at their show site at Ben Williamson Park in Rock Island.
The show is free to attend, but donations are very much appreciated.

Can you spot Michaels? He's in the base, and pretty proud of his daughters, who perform in the show with him.

LOOK: Here are the 50 best beach towns in America
Every beach town has its share of pluses and minuses, which got us thinking about what makes a beach town the best one to live in. To find out, Stacker consulted data from WalletHub, released June 17, 2020, that compares U.S. beach towns. Ratings are based on six categories: affordability, weather, safety, economy, education and health, and quality of life. The cities ranged in population from 10,000 to 150,000, but they had to have at least one local beach listed on TripAdvisor. Read the full methodology here. From those rankings, we selected the top 50. Readers who live in California and Florida will be unsurprised to learn that many of towns featured here are in one of those two states.
Keep reading to see if your favorite beach town made the cut.
