Rock Island Dragons

🐉 Rock Island Dragons would like to extend our heartfelt best wishes to the Avalon Dragons as they travel to Aix-les-Bains, France, to participate in the IBCPC International Dragon Boat Festival!

What an incredible event this will be — 4,500 participants, 170 teams, representing 25 nations, all coming together in celebration of strength, friendship, and the power of the dragon boat community. 💗

The girls have worked incredibly hard over the past two years, and we couldn’t be happier for them to take on this Challange. We wish you nothing but success and an unforgettable experience!

Have a fabulous time, Avalon Dragons! Soak it all in, enjoy every moment, and paddle your hearts out! 💪🐉

Paddles up, fierce Dragons! 🐉💗
