An Ohio River boat festival held in Owensboro for the past five years has been scrapped.
The Owensboro Messenger-Inquirer reports 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 Sept. 17.
Ross says the festival could be held again in future years.
