Very nice charity event. We were just visiting from out of state and saw a local flyer for the event. My in-laws are from Taiwan so we decided to see how the Americans do a dragon boat race. Had a good time. The event was a little hard to find if you are unfamiliar with the area but they had some signs posted at key points if you paid attention and we arrived without too much trouble. They had lots of space set aside for parking and if the parking was a little far out, they had carts and a small bus to help everyone get to the event. The event was well organized and we heard a short speech by the organizer and the mayor of Oriental about the event and the teams and then the race began. They had plenty of seating for spectators next to the lagoon on some aluminum bleachers and it was shaded by a canopy to keep the August sun from burning us up. There was a few local providers for refreshments. All in all, a very entertaining event.
