Argosy Casino Bus Trip
This was one of the bus tours we offered.
One group went to the Casino and the other went to the African American Musem.
Both groups returned in about three hours in time to rest for the banquet that evening.
Many of the people that went enjoyed the tour, but they jsut did'nt have enough time to see it all and take part in the shows, activities, etc.
