Annual Dragon Boat Race, all around success
Over 30 teams full of strength and tenacity competed this past Saturday in the annual Dragon-Boat-Races-300x225Fuse Project's Inaugural Dragon Boat Festival, a community event put on by The Fuse Project.

Bellator, ERA Platinum Merge
Broker Nathan Cox needed more agents to market home lots — 850 of them over 29 subdivisions — so he has merged his firm, Bellator Real Estate & Development, with Troy Wilson's ERA Platinum Properties.
