Without a doubt, one of the most inspiring and rewarding event to photograph is the annual Dragon Boat Festival at Burlington’s Waterfront Park. sponsored by Dragon Heart Vermont. Dragonheart Vermont’s mission is to promote breast cancer awareness and to provide hope to all cancer survivors and their families. They hope to inspire every person who sees them to live a life full of wellness, exercise, and joy.
And, without a doubt, one of my favorite clients is Blue Cross Blue Shield of Vermont, because they help sponsor amazing events like this one, and have me cover them as well! They honestly live up to their motto, “Signs of as Healthier Vermont” and I love being part of that and documenting the events they support AND participate in (yes, the Blues had
a great paddling team and ALMOST made it into the finals!)
But it’s not really about winning the race, just being a part of the action! And, like every year, there was plenty of action–as well as laughter, and zumba and drumming and ….fun!
Enjoy the following slideshow that recaps this inspiring day:

It was great fun to see our daughter Megan Peek in the Pike’s Peek slide show. We have heard much about the festival but these pictures really show what fun and excitement it generates for the georgeous and physically fit people of Burlington VT! Thanks
