Nice going Ivan! Hope you get a great turn out.   :)

The Navy Dragon Anchors will be there.  Kelowna in the summer, dragon boating on the lake again... We can't wait!

Rob.

So Cool!  We look forward to having you here!  Let me know if you need concierge service, Rob!  I'd be happy to set you guys up in Kelowna!  Need a host team? 

CDBC - Crew Yahoo is seriously thinking about attending this festival - are there any other teams going? 

ya, cant wait for our Club festival -  always hot, sunny, awesome paddling and amazing competition.     Dont miss it....!   looking forward to our pals from the coast and Alberta!......

Navy Dragon Anchors went to the Kelowna DB Club Festival this past weekend and we loved it!  The $800 early bird fee is much better than most two-day festivals, dinner on Saturday night was delicious, the weather was amazing, and the view from the beach is always beautiful.  As far as the people go, the organizers, the volunteers, and all of our competition from BC and Alberta, were fantastic, not to mention our host team, Dragon in the Drink, who fed us, cheered for us, and made us feel so welcome!

Keep in mind, this is not the for-profit event that used to occur in September and ended in 2010.

The number of teams was very small, just six women's and twelve mixed, but there is no reason why this event shouldn't explode in size in 2013.  Everyone should be giving KDBCF serious consideration next year.
