Though the rain is gone for now, the recent storms and the snow runoff brought a lot of water and flooding to the Valley, causing a ripple effect for events in the community. abc15
The City of Tempe closed down Tempe Town Lake on Thursday, saying that SRP increased the amount of water being released from the reservoirs upstream and that the lake was unsafe for people to be in it.
Nathan Salazar, the coach of LA County Dragon Boat Club said they received the notice on Thursday that the event was postponed. He planned to bring more than 80 paddlers to Tempe, however, some still came since they couldn’t cancel hotel stays or for other reasons. Anne Bennie and her team flew from Canada for day camps and the festival. They arrived on St. Patrick’s Day and have been on the water over the week through a camp. Bennie told ABC15 she did see a difference in the lake in the last few days as storms moved through.
While many wait to see when the Arizona Dragon Boat Festival will be rescheduled, some who came here for it made the most out of their trip and plan to come back when the new dates are announced. Bennie said it wouldn’t happen for her, since she’s out of the country, but she said she’ll come back next year
