Welcome back, spring. So very glad to see you. Your arrival heralds paddling season.

First up is cleaning, and the dragons are, as usual, willing volunteers. Next, we launch the dragon boat.

May 9, oh happy day that the dragon boat floated to our berth

Thanks to all the willing hands and helpers.

May 17, hooray for May Day

Once again, the dragons participated in a fun day on land. We had a booth in the park, a 50/50 draw ticket sale at the soap box derby, and a float of two hot cars with two dragons and a paddler honour guard in the parade. Thank you to all who came out to support the team.

Finally! First paddle of the season

24th May, with just enough paddlers and a small audience, we had a wonderful hour on the lake in perfect weather. photo credit: Curtis

June 14, another glorious paddle

Dragon escort for Nikko, Jan and Dan

June 20, was the retirement party in the park for the Valley Voice’s most recent owners Jan and Dan, and welcome party for the new owner Nikko. The dragons were honoured to provide the escort.
