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
