The Riverside Area Community Club has announced the full itinerary of this month's Trek Fest XXXII, over in nearby Riverside, IA. Trek Fest is an annual celebration of the official future birthplace of Captain James T. Kirk. In past years, they have pulled in actors from the original Star Trek television series, but most years it's an excuse to have a lot of fun with a bit of a small town science fiction flavor.

This year's TrekFest schedule is pretty similar to last year's events.

Saturday's parade will feature three Grand Marshalls: Robert Schneider Sr. (Riverside's Mayor during the first Trek Fest), Robert Schneider Jr. (Riverside Councilman), and Allen Schneider (Riverside's current Mayor) -- AKA "Three Generations of Service to Riverside!"
