Dragon Boat Races!
Today the fam headed up to Concord Park for the Dragon Boat races to benefit the Knoxville Area Rescue Ministry. The event had been promoted on LOVE 89.1, the Christian radio station I listen to in the car. We had never heard of "Dragon Boat Racing" and had to check it out! There are 22 people to a team: 20 rowers, 1 drummer to keep time, and 1 person in the back to direct the boat using a paddle as a rudder. There were 40 teams participating with corporate sponsors such as CVS, Covenant Health, and Merrill Lynch, as well as church sponsored teams. There were tons of people, food, and fun! The Daugherty fam joined us as we watched the races. The boys did well and even napped a bit! Check out the pics below!

I didn't know about Dragon Boat racing either until I got back in touch with a girl that I was friends with and played basketball with in high school. Her name is Penny Bandy, Jay might remember her, and she is one of the main organizers of Dragon Boat racing in East Tennessee. I've never been to watch, but hear it's fun. It looks like you had a great time!
That looks pretty neat. It looks like everyone had fun!
What a fun outing!
