World Sprints

Day 1 - Opening Ceremonies for the Outrigger World Sprints. Holly and I were invited to march with Team Canada even though we weren't racing. The Opening took place at Heritage Park Historical Village.

Laci and Marlene


Most (but not all) of Team Canada!


Uncle Calvin - aka Pake Nui.


The Over 50's Canadian Team #1 - Jimmy, Brad, Paul, Don and Hugh. (All except Laci).


Even Snowy Stripes got to be in the parade of athletes!


Some of the Treat Seven Nations band leaders were here.


Team Hawaii made a paddle presentation to the Native Band Leaders.


Rapa Nui in native dress.


The Ceremonies were pretty long and we got hungry so we left a little early and went to a bakery in the Village.
