Fighting Carps take home the Silver!!
On a beautiful day out to be on paddling, the JETAA Fighting Carps were one of 32 teams competing for water domination and a good cause this year at the Oakville Charity Dragon Boat Festival on Sunday, August 11th.
Being the first of two major races the team participates in, there was certainly no denying the excitement, fun, limitless power, and most importantly, the mouth-watering pot luck lunch!
For a few on the boat, it was their first experience being out there, and practice sure paid off – over the course of the day, the Carps got faster and faster, and finally managed to claw our way into a Silver medal in our division narrowly beating out the competition.
Congratulations to the Fighting Carps for a job well done, and medal well deserved!!
Come support the team at our final event of the year at the GWN Race Weekend on September 7th and 8th at Marilyn Bell Park! See you out there!
