Welland Tribune - Ontario, CAWITH 46 ENTRIES SO FAR, WELLAND DRAGON BOAT FEST WILL SET RECORD FOR TEAM PARTICIPATION

Welland Tribune - Ontario, CA: "That's hard to say because the people who love to sit in a boat and paddle aren't the same ones who love to sit in a boardroom and organize a club,' he said with a laugh.

Registration fee for the daylong Saturday event is $795 per team with participants receiving a $50 discount for multiple entries.

That guarantees each crew three races on the day of the festival and one practice session beginning after 4 p. m. on Friday.

As in past years, proceeds will be shared by the four organizing partners: the Rotary Club of Welland, the Welland Heritage Council, the Welland-Pelham Chamber of Commerce and the United Way of South Niagara.

Last year's dragon boat festival raised $14,000 from registration alone."
