Dragon Boats

Zach rowed in one of these over the weekend - they made top 10.


The fierce faces of Chinese dragon boats filled St. Paul's Lake Phalen on Sunday with 27 crews of 20 each racing in their exotic vessels, part of the weekend's Dragon Festival at Phalen Park on the city's East Side.
The 40-foot-long boats are elaborately carved and painted, and crews paddle to the beat of their own drummers on board.
The festival had an Asian-Pacific flair, with activities including Hawaiian dance troupes, martial arts demonstrations, dance and other arts, and Indian, Thai, Hmong, Vietnamese and Chinese food.
