The majority of Crew I and some welcome team mates from Crew II will be heading to the 12th Annual Barrie Dragon Boat Festival on Friday, August 22nd. I believe most of us if not all are being students again and staying in the Georgian College Residences (will we act like students is the question - time will tell).
The event kicks off at 6:00 p.m. on Friday at Heritage Park with opening ceremonies and a Dragon's Den Concert, also there is a Parade of Teams, a Paddlers Party ending with "The Dragons Put to Sleep" and the Beer Tent will all close down at 9:00 (shall we indulge ourselves, I think not, we must be race ready in the morning).
On Saturday the first races of the day starts at 7:45 a.m. so no beauty sleep for this group, I am still awaiting our time slot for the first race.
We are looking forward to getting away, enjoying each others company, having a few laughs and of course being ready ready for great day of racing.
Stay tuned for a summary of the days events.
