Dragon Boat Festival
in Kansas City
Annual Dragon Boat Festival at Brush Creek, Country Club Plaza on Saturday, June 11, 2011
" Anyone who sees a dragon boat won't forget it. Painted in bright colors, with heads that feature bulging eyes and bright-white fangs, they are to ordinary boats what a centipede is to a beetle - 40 feet long and 650 to 1,300 pounds, dragon boats require 20 paddlers, plus a drummer and a steersman.
But they fly through the water, if a team achieves the synchronicity borne of many hours of practice. "

- Funny thing is, I have been to KC on business, several times and I just never really noticed a large Asian population or culture. I do go to Arthur Bryant's BBQ quite a bit when I'm there though. lol. Then again, being from Los Angeles, I guess everywhere else seems lacking in Asian anything. Wonderful lens and thanks for the info.
