Title: Kelowna 2011 Post by: ian on January 18, 2011, 02:34:19 PM Anyone have the date for this years Kelowna regatta ?
Title: Re: Kelowna 2011 Post by: NavyRob on January 19, 2011, 11:26:33 AM I heard a weird rumour at Ice Breaker that they are moving Kelowna Festival to July this year and it would conflict with Nanaimo. It doesn't seem like a brilliant plan to me but I'm not sure how many other teams actually go to both festivals. Maybe that would actually save this sinking festival. Then again, so would charging a reasonable amount for team entry.
Like I said, what I heard was just a rumour. I'm sure we'll hear soon if it's true or not. Title: Re: Kelowna 2011 Post by: goldcap on January 19, 2011, 12:14:32 PM There is a July date on a website that says it is the Kelowna Dragon Boat CLUB.
Can't tell if it's the same group or not. Very weird though, and I can't find a date for the regular Sept festival now. Title: Re: Kelowna 2011 Post by: ian on January 19, 2011, 02:42:45 PM I heard that same rumour too , thats why i was checking , lets hope they choose a date with no other conflicts ,

Title: Re: Kelowna 2011 Post by: cmellaart on February 02, 2011, 01:06:31 PM They are two different festivals - The Annual July Festival is a hosted by the Kelowna Dragon Boat Club, Coming into its 6th year, it originally started as a one day women's festival; this year it has expanded to a two day festival with mixed, ladies, seniors and Junior divisions. The festival will also include a Steerers Challenge and 1000m race. Guaranteed fabulous weather, Beer Garden, great bling, and fabulous music - cost is $600 per team.
The Kelowna Dragon Boat Festival is held in September and ran by a promoter. Decision to hold the festival this year or not was to be made by yesterday... Last year, only 89 teams participated, down from the 140+ teams of years past. Festival fees start around $1300.
