The Hooch Dragons

The Hooch Dragons are the newest Dragon Boat Club in the Atlanta Metro area and we're recruiting members...experienced, complete beginners and every experience level in between. We've got about 13 paddlers committed to our team but we need more members. Our first practices will be in August in preparation of the Atlanta Dragon Boat Races at Lake Lanier on September 10. Not much time, huh? Can't make the August practices? No problem...we want you for fall practices and upcoming events. Some of us live in Marietta and carpool to practices and you're welcome to ride along. Come and join the fun and be part of an ancient Chinese tradition that is gaining in popularity all over the U.S., Canada and Europe.
