SHOT 7/28/2007 - A drummer at the front of the Dragon Boat keeps the pace for everyone in the boat to paddle in harmony during the race. This particular boat was one of the ceremonial boats used and wasn't involved in the races. The sport of Dragon boat racing is over 2000 years old and features teams of 18 paddlers - nine men and nine women plus someone to steer the boat all rowing to the beat of a drum and racing to a flag 200 meters away on Sloan's Lake in Denver, Co. Founded in 2001 to celebrate Denver?s rich Asian Pacific American culture, the Colorado Dragon Boat Festival has become the region?s fastest growing and most acclaimed new festival. Festival-goers get to explore the Asian culture through demonstrations, crafts, shopping, eating, and the growing sport of dragon boat racing. .(Photo by Marc Piscotty / © 2007)
