Apr 27 2008 - 9:00am Apr 27 2008 - 4:00pm Capitol Lake, Olympia, WA Hosted by Saint Martin's University in cooperation with Washington Dragon Boat Association. Dragon boat racing dates back to fourth-century China to commemorate a famed poet, Qu Yuan, who threw himself in the Milo River to protest the political turmoil and suffering of the people at that time. Nowadays, dragon boat racing is primarily for fun and is festive in nature. This will be the third dragon boat race at the Capitol Lake in Olympia. The event is expected to draw up to 1,000 spectators. Saint Martin's University is proud to be hosting the event with the cooperation of the Washington Dragon Boat Association. |

Submitted by Guglielmo on Mon, 02/25/2008 - 4:09pm.Practical men, who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influence, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist.! --John Maynard Keynes
A bit offensive too
Submitted by security_six on Mon, 02/25/2008 - 9:12pm.Would a Confederate battle flag in the same view be hilarious? Each flag stands for oppression to some. But I think commies are more fashionable than slave holding secessionists...
