Dragon Boating: |
Chatham Festival 2006 will mark the 5th annual Dragon Boat races in Tecumseh Park, Chatham. The races will take place on Saturday July 1st, during the exciting Canada Day Celebrations. The Chatham race will feature Taiwan-style dragon boats. This style of racing is particularly exciting as the participants race to a flag at the end of the 250 meter course, with one of the members of the team reaching out to grab the flag out of the water, signaling the end of the race (see picture below). Registration is $500 per team, and teams are comprised of 20 paddlers plus a flag-catcher. You will be supplied with a sterns person (if necessary). For information on the races, including information on entering a team, please contact: fpeckitt@sympatico.ca or call 519.354.2310
