Ruby Learns to Blog

Hi, I'm Ruby.
I'm the mascot for the Cape Breton Dragon Boat Festival.  That's a really fun 2 day festival that's held in Sydney each year.  This festival has been around for about 7 years now, thanks to the support from our community sponsors and teams. 

This blog is a bit of a marketing experiment, the organizing team has been trying lots of things over the years to share information about the festival with the general public. It's not easy, because even though they're a big group, they're all volunteering their time.  We're lucky it's such a great event, and so we have lots of support from the community.   

I'll blog later about our sponsors, but until then I'll give a shout out to the Cape Breton Building and Construction Trades Council  and all the Unionized Contractors of Cape Breton who are associated with them. Together they provide a great deal of funding and support to the Festival Planning Team. They've been the presenting sponsors for 8 years now, and before that they bought boats and equipment for the Cape Breastoners Breast Cancer Survivor team... Basically there is dragon boating in Cape Breton because these groups are so community minded!  Thanks Guys!!
