Drums on the River - Dragon Boat Race Paducah Ketucky 2012

First of what is sure to be an annual event, Dragon Boat Races on the Ohio River in Paducah, Kentucky. Twenty-six teams of 20 with a drummer and a helmsman raced in heats of three Saturday. We had lovely weather, huge crowds of spectators, lively participants and a lot of fun. The event was a fund raiser for our River Discovery Center, an educational organization about all things pertaining to the rivers in our area.

This area is just below the confluence of the Ohio and Tennessee Rivers and upstream to where they meet and merge with the mightly Mississippi.
