We also welcomed back Steve from Junior Dragon Boats. Steve provided us an update about the Junior Dragon Boaters that paddle at Harrison Lake. 52 kids are registered and learn all the skills needed to be out on the water in a Dragon Boat. He had a wonderful presentation full of pictures and stories of the adventures and competitions of Dragon Boating, what an incredible opportunity for kids in Chilliwack/Sardis/Agassiz/Harrison!

A awesome round of Happy Bucks, and that was the end,
