The first ever Ice Dragons Challenge is being hailed a success.
Six teams, most from outside the area, took part in Saturday’s event on Rainy Lake.
Boundary Waters Dragon Boat Club’s Annelly Armstrong-Thorstad says it did better than what they thought.
Teams that traveled from Tennessee includes members from Texas, North Carolina and Georgia.
Armstrong-Thorstad says all of the outside clubs expressed an interest in coming back for their summer event.
She adds based on the success, it’s likely they will hold another Ice Dragons Challenge next winter.
