Click here for more information: http://dragonsports.org/regatta/ 2007/index. html Race Date September 8-9 2007 Ayla Montgomery-Kraly, Co-Race Director DragonSports USA Title: Re: Portland Dragon Boat Race Post by: Dr. Evil on July 14, 2007, 09:12:18 PM Hey Ayla:
Did you get anywhere with sourcing /obtaining those half-sized (10-person) Dragonboats for this regatta? also, Best of luck with the festival! cheers. Title: Re: Portland Dragon Boat Race Post by: Ayla_Paddles on July 14, 2007, 10:00:16 PM Unfortunately not! I worked hard to find the baby dragon boats, but couldn't find any that would fit in our budget. Maybe next year.
We have added Masters, Grand Masters, Corporate Cup and an All Cancer Division to our Festival. The Beer Garden and Paddlers Party should be a good one. Another exciting part of the festival we added is 250m, 500m and a really long 1500-2000m Circle the Bridges race. There are 4 sponsoring Hotels with prices from $74-$139. Not bad for a Downtwon Portland Hotel. All visiting teams will have a local host team. I hope we have more Canadian teams come on down to Portland! Most of our teams make their way to at least one Canadian race each year. More information can be found at www.dragonsports.org Hope to see you here.
