10/22/2005 - Here's a shot of what may well be our last "End of Season Chilli Supper". 

The Louisville Harbor Association is a non-profit group and has leased the Louisville Municipal Harbor from the City of Louisville (now Louisville Metro) since 1956. For the past 50 years, The Harbor Association has been solely responsible for the daunting task of operating and maintaining the harbor. This has been done through a membership system based on seasonal slip rentals and community involvement.

The Association has always welcomed all without regard to race, creed or social status. The only requirement for membership has been a love of boating, sense of community, self-sufficiency, and respect for the awesome power of the Ohio River. The membership is representative of every possible social status from student, to blue-collar worker, to professional, to academic, to retiree.

The Harbor Association has always fulfilled its financial responsibilities to The City and most significantly acted as a concerned steward of a little known public treasure. Diligent preservation and sustainable self sufficiency of the last remaining pristine, riverine public space in The City has been a high priority.
