What about an exciting venue for a company picnic? A family reunion? Class reunion?
Take advantage of Cass Park and Cayuga Lake at the 2013 Finger Lakes International Dragon Boat Festival (FLIDBF). The festival will be on *July 13th and 14th*, and we are looking for groups to represent our diverse community! Teams are already forming, such as Ithaca Material Research, Cornell Cooperative Extension, the Ithaca/Tompkins YMCA and the Oswego YMCA. *It's time to gather 20 of your closest friends* and paddle the Cayuga Inlet on July 13th! Each team will have the opportunity to practice beginning in June, and are guaranteed three practices before the festival. The cost for a community team is $700, or $35 a person for a team of 20. On race day, the winning team will get medals and a cash prize that they then donate to a non-profit or charitable organization. *Dragon Boating is a great way to bring people together!* Have your employer sponsor your team to help cut the cost! It's great advertisement to thousands of attendees. O*r, you can host your office picnic, family reunion, class reunion, graduation party and more.* Encourage your friends to bring a dish to pass, set up a tent, and enjoy a BBQ before or after racing. There will be music, games, dancing, food and of course, our traditional Eye-Dotting Ceremony. *New this year: Child Care Provided by the YMCA! * *For more information: http://fingerlakesdragonboat.org/ * *Email @ [email protected] * *Like us on Facebook @ **http://tinyurl.com/FLIDBF * This event is organized by the Ithaca Asian American Association, Ithaca Dragon Boat Club in collaboration with Paddle-N-More, and YMCA Ithaca/Tompkins and supported by the Cayuga Medical Center Sports Medicine & Athletic Performance.
