Speaking of Dragon Boat races, the first in our area will be held on
Lake Weiss near Centre, Alabama (north, Georgia border) as part of a
three-day paddle of the lake conducted by the Alabama Scenic River
Trail. Find out more at www.alabamascenicrivertrail.com. Food,
camping, entertainment and shuttles for only $35, great deal on
outfitting too. The boat race is not a sanctioned one, but more for
fun.

I would love to finally see another vanagon at one of our events!
