Up next, the annual Mud Festival, complete with a ball, a parade, a coronation, a pub crawl, and an arts and crafts show. All to celebrate the draining of the river.City officials said the first week of the new year is the best time to conduct the cleanup.
"There's never really a good time to take down the river," said Paula Stallcup, director of downtown operations. "But certainly, we work around the existing conventions and all of our visitors. This is the time to do it because this is the slowest time, if there is a slow time for San Antonio."
In case you haven't figured it out yet, San Antonians will hold a party for just about any reason.

I'd like to see a list of all the stuff they find when they drain it. Like, exactly how many shopping carts and so forth.
I haven't seen anything that approaches a comprehensive list, but they will typically pull up such things as chairs, cutlery, bottles, cameras, cell phones, etc. The kinds of things you'd expect to fall in a river that is home to restaurants and tourists.
If I see a report of anything odd found in the river, I will be sure to post it here.
