Welcome to our 2010 Festival
In 2010 the Nor Arc Pirates raised the most money with a total of $2,400 for the Food Forever Fund and the Curves Spitfires were second with $2,289.05. Total funds raised in 2010: $11,498.02
On June 24th and 25th, 2010 hundreds of people came to enjoy the festivities in our Fourth Annual Dragon Boat Festival held in the City of Temiskaming Shores, Ontario. Presented by the New Liskeard Lions Club, the City of Temiskaming Shores, and the Chinese Heritage Association of Northern Ontario, the 2010 races saw 8 teams consisting of 176 paddlers and drummerspaddling in the beautiful blue waters of Lake Temiskaming. Although Dragon Boat racing is relatively new to Temiskaming Shores, it is being increasing in both attendance and excitement. The combination of excercise, festivity and community spirit is very attactive, and contagious.
