Catch a Ride with the C-Dragons!
Cancer survivors and their supporters are invited to learn about dragon boating in Huo Li, the beautiful dragon boat. What’s a dragon boat? It's a 40-foot long canoe with a dragon head and tail, paddled by 20 people in perfect synchronicity (if all goes well...), a steersperson guiding their course and a drummer keeping them together by beating a large wooden drum. The C-Dragons of the Cancer Association of Anderson enjoy exercise and camaraderie created in their “floating support group” on Hartwell Lake.
Want to get involved? The team paddles at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesdays at Big Water Marina near the Hartwell Dam. E-mail Dondi Barnhart, C Dragons president, at s.dondi@att.net or team captain Vicky Wilson at vwilson@greenville.k12.sc.us.
See the dragon boat at Broadway Lake Family Day!
The C-Dragons will be paddling and offering rides on Saturday, Sept. 18th at Broadway Lake. For information on the festival, contact Peg Ivey at 296-8000.
