Each year, the Dragons on the Lake Dragon Boat Festival brings together more than 1,500 paddlers and spectators to the beautiful beach at Portage Lakes State Park for a day of community, camaraderie and competition. Teams of 20 paddlers compete for top honors in three different divisions: Corporate, Community and Breast Cancer Survivor (BCS). Proceeds from the event benefit the Dragon Dream Team, Ohio's first all breast cancer survivor dragon boat team. This year's festival will take place on Saturday
