Your Lake Arrowhead Realtor would like to share some local Lake Arrowhead Information with you.
It's here; THE FOURTH ANNUAL DRAGON BOAT RACES in Lake Gregory. This fun event is sponsored by
"FOR Parks," a non-profit organization that secures funds for youth programs at San Bernardino County Regional Parks. Last year, 16 teams competed in these races, but this year we are expecting close to 32. And I'm thinking that each year it will continue to grow and grow.
WHAT IS DRAGON BOATING? It's a boat of 12 paddlers, a drummer and a steers-person paddling to cross the finish line faster than their competition. These races began in Southern China and dragon boating is the fastest growing international team water sport.
Saturday, August 14, 2010 ( 10:00 AM) 16 teams will begin, followed by the next 16 with directions from their coxswain. Admission: $3.00
Sunday, August 15, 2010 (9:15AM) the professional dragon boat racers will compete. Admision: $3.00
Registration & cost: $5 per person. You must be at least eight (8) years old. Forms to register can be found at SPECIAL EVENTS.

It should be a beautiful weekend for this! It looks like a great event Kat! A very worthy cause and it is nice to see the participants have doubled! I can imagine it takes quite a bit of training to get ready for this one!
Stephanie.... Isn't that great (double the registration)? Gotta love how people get out and get involved! Have a super weekend!
Kat, that looks like a lot of fun. Hope you're going. Is that you steering in the rear?
Kay: How'd you know? :-)
