Thanks to the library’s dragon boat team for their exemplary effort on the river this weekend and to everyone who supported the team with donations, contributions to the bake sale, and coming down to Rotary Park to cheer us on.
As our steerer Doug coached us, there are only two finishes that matter in dragon boats – first and ‘not last’. We didn’t place first, but we also didn’t place last and everyone had a great time. More importantly, our team raised $3450 for The Children’s Wish Foundation and Ronald McDonald House Saskatchewan. Congratulations everyone!
It was so much fun! Hopefully we can do it again next year!
This was a blast – and we ended up prominently feature leisurely paddling to the starting line on Global News 🙂 https://globalnews.ca/video/rd/1283338307889/
Now that we know what we are doing we are on track to take out the “Last Saskatchewan Pirates” next year!
