 While the weather couldn't have been more perfect Saturday for the 12th annual Lake Bemidji Dragon Boat Festival, large crowds sat along Lake Bemidji on the hillside to take in the race between 52 Dragon Boat teams. In the race for the gold was four-time champion Hydra Heads who went for the fifth straight victory and won with a time of two minutes and 22 seconds. The Hydra Heads team captain credits the team's fifth straight victory to its returning team members. It's pretty amazing you know it's it's the consistency that we have we're really really lucky I mean this year we had 19 of the 21 people back this year you know so that's our core is so strong and that's key. In the Silver Division CrossFit Bemidji Rotor Warriors won with a time of two minutes and 33 seconds in the bronze division the deadly dragons of Duluth won with a time of two minutes and 41 seconds.
