There is always a short, but meaningful Program |
We sang two songs, whose words are listed below. The signs were designed to encourage everyone to sing along with us (and to help remind US as to what they were)! |
We celebrate, support, and paddle with Courageous Kidz who are fighting cancer |
And honor (and bring along:>) one of our own who is fighting her own battle. |
Amy, Executive Director of DBC and Becca, who supports DBC with her Event genius |
Always great seeing her!

Words to song #1: To the Tune of "Moon River"
Ashley River, wider than a mile
We're crossing you in style, today
Old Dream Maker, you life saver
Wherever you're flowing, we're paddlin' your way
20 paddlers off to win the Race
There's energy for all to see
We're after the same medals won, Drummin' without fuss\
For such a good cause, Ashley River and us

Words to song #2 Paddlin' on the River to the Tune of "Rollin; on the River"
Left our fears at the gazebo
Working on our strokes ev'ry night and day
And we never lost one minute of sleepin'
Worrying that we wouldn't medal today
Big paddle keep on turning,
Proud Dragons keep on burnin'
Paddlin,' paddlin,' paddlin,' Ashley River
Wiped a lot of tears before hand,
Pumped a lota pills holding onto our dream
But we never saw an upside to our illness
'til we hitched a ride on a Dragon Boat Team
Big paddle keep on turnin,'
Proud Dragons keep on burnin,'
Paddlin,' paddlin,' paddlin,' Ashley River
Paddlin,' paddlin,' paddlin,' Ashley River
If you come to Ashley River.
Bet you gonna find lots of paddlers who live
You don't have to worry 'cause you haven't felt well
Paddles on the River are happy to give
Big paddles keep on turnin,'
Proud Dragons keep on burnin'
Paddlin,' paddlin,' paddlin,' Ashley River
Paddlin,' paddlin,' paddlin,' Ashley River
Paddlin,' paddlin,' paddlin,' Ashley River
Paddlin,' paddlin,' paddlin,' Ashley River
Paddlin,' paddlin,' paddlin,' Ashley River
