our rookies performed well… thanks to Jennifer, Gena, Adam, Evan and Carson.
Nobody
can tell they are rookies anymore, as they are now experienced at North
America's biggest and best dragon boat Festival. Great kudos to
Captains Jim, Keng, Steven and drummer Debbie.
We welcome Parks Commissioner Sara Blyth as our honourary drummer for 2010. Sara came out to cheer our 2nd race, and hopefully will be there for our race final tomorrow afternoon.
