What’s What New Port Richey

It was neck and neck for some of the competitors with some teams making unified strokes to pulsating drum beats and some heart cheering on from the steerer and spectators taking it all in from the banks of the Pitlachascotee River in downtown New Port Richey

By some accounts, this looks to be the First Annual Dragon Boat Races for New Port Richey meaning there could very well be more races to come, and perhaps a stand-alone event that could bring scores of teams from throughout the state to our growing downtown enclave.

Stay tuned.

It was a close race for some at the first annual Dragon Boat Races held on March 16 as part of the 102 Annual Chasco Fiesta in New Port Richey.
