An Ohio River boat festival held in Owensboro for the past five years has been scrapped.
The Dragon Boat Festival didn’t draw enough participants. Owensboro public events director Tim Ross says organizers wanted 15 to 20 teams.
Boats of 20-member crews row along the river in front of English Park. Last year’s event drew 13 teams, down from a high of 30 in 2013.
The event had been moved back from August to September 17.
Ross says the festival could be held again in future years.
