Thanks to those who came to watch, support, and notify interested parties. We had a great time and enjoyed everyone's company. Blazing Paddles greeted FCC families from Riverside, L.A., and O.C. We even met other FCC Dragon Boaters from as far away as Philadelpia!AND BLAZING PADDLES ROCKED!!! WE GOT GREAT RACE TIMES, both the women's team and the mixed team did an excellent job and we had a great time!
Look for notes on how you can join the team!
