Oshkosh Dragonboat Club

n August 23rd the dragon returned to Winneconne with the Ohkosh Dragonboat Club. Blue sky and calm water welcomed the members of the club. Once again the water ballons were no match for the dragon having missed their mark repeatedly. We spent several hours on the water enjoying stops at area businesses including The Wolf River House Resorts and Cottages, whom we owe many thanks to for donating the use of a pontoon and gas, for our safety boat that day. After picking up a couple of brave vacationers from the Wolf River House to try out the sport of dragonboating, back on the water we headed.  We also picked up a few hardy souls at Lang’s Landing. A thank you goes out to Langs Landing for allowing us to use their dock and landing for the day. We made stops at The Other Place for a bite to eat, and The Fin and Feather for a refreshment before we loaded the dragon back on its’ trailer to head to the lair.  As always we generated a lot of attention and questions. A good time was had by all. ODBC would also like to thank the persons who took the time out of their day to man the safety boat.
