I took the above photograph at the Dragon Boat Festival at Sloan's Lake in Northwest Denver this past Sunday. The main purpose of the festival is to celebrate and promote all aspects of the Asian culture. Granted, a majority of the Dragon Boat crews were not Asian, but they did try to get in the spirit of the thing, wearing headbands and trying to fit it. However, the guy above in the tri-cornered hat seems like he would fit in better during a 4th of July celebration. Perhaps that boat crew could start their own boat races on the 4th, and replace the dragon figureheads on the front of the boats with the faces of the founding fathers. Just a suggestion. And I would definitely attend that festival, too.
