It was fun!
For a first time event it was pretty fun!
There were about 8 teams.... they shared 2 dragon boats. There were several "local" teams... EastCoast Flightcraft (overall winners) Survivors+ & Weirs Action/ENT (there were other local teams, but their names escape me. There were a couple of "pro" teams from RI & VT. Each team raced at least 3 times. Unfortunately with only 2 boats... the turn around time was painfully slow between heats. They also had to work around the Mount's schedule but that was not a big deal. There were quite a few local sponsors, Flightcraft & Tiki Boats as well as quite a few others!
I believe they raised $30K+ for Gilda's Clubhouse (cancer charity).
This event definitely has the possibility of becoming a HUGE local event. All in all a pretty good time! Then it was up to Red White & Brew @ Funspot for Veterans Count & the Looney Bin Pig Roast for New Beginnings (Local Womens Shelter)!
Fun Saturday!
