Dragon Boat Races

admin — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 02:37:55 +0000

Ever wanted to race in a dragon boat race, or raced and want to paddle
again? EWB and Rotary will again enter a combined team in the dragon
boat races, this time in Niles Michigan Saturday, August 2. Niles is
about 3 hours from Chicago. The racers must be at the race site at
8am Saturday so Rotarian Larry is offering a campout at his cabin near
Niles Friday night. Our World Dragons Dragon Boat Team will race at
least twice in 1 1/2 minute sprints on the St. Joseph River in the
Park a few blocks from downtown Niles. The races will be over at 2pm
and are part of a Riverfest Celebration with crafts and raft races,
and includes free outdoor stage entertainment Friday and Saturday
night. Its a blast! Anyone age 14 or over who may be interested
should contact EWB Rotarian Sue Smith suesmithbak@gmail.com. You do
not have to be in EWB or Rotary to be on the team so come with friends
and family.
