The Dragon Boat Festival was brought about to celebrate the Asian community. This was our first year attending, and had a blast. One end of the festival demonstrated traditions from Japan and China. The other end, demonstrated the Polynesian traditions. Then in the middle, was the lake where they held dragon boat races. There were 18 rowers, a drummer in the back, and a person hanging over the front who grabbed the flag at the finish line. It was quite entertaining to watch. The only down fall that day was that it was 100 degrees. That alone sucks, but mixed with the smell of garlic = naussea :( Yuck, and I'm not even pregnant,
