ROCK ISLAND, ILL.—When the Arsenal Island Flotilla participates in the annual “Bald Eagle Days” celebration each January in the Quad Cities, there’s nothing they will “knot” do—including teaching people about knot tying. That was just one of a number of activities Flotilla 97 that was a hit with thousands children and adults who visited their booth during the event, held January 11-13, 2013. In fact, approximately 1,600 children alone visited the “97” exhibit during a six hour period on the Saturday of the event.
