All 2023 Dragon Patron slots filled – thank you.
The clanging of pots and pans, the rhythm of the drums, and all those screaming fans. It’s all for one very important reclusive Oriental resident: the Dragon.
A handsome grin.On New Year’s Eve, the Dragon emerges to wind through the adoring crowds on Hodges Street at 8p and 11:30p.
It waits all year for the big night, dreaming of this big moment. A Dragon of its importance deserves a safe place to rest and dream.
Over the years, the Dragon has been housed in sheds and barns, sometimes suffering from weather damage during hibernation. A few years ago it got a new home – a 10 × 10 storage unit at Village Mini Storage on Broad Street. It keeps the Dragon dry. And ready.
The adoring crowds; the Dragon waits all year for this.The Dragon’s dry digs are funded through the generosity of folks like you, the Patrons Of The Dragon.
The storage unit is $50 a month. That’s where you come in.
Become A Dragon PatronThe Dragon needs 22 “Patrons”. Each Dragon Patron pays $25 for a half month of storage. The Dragon doesn’t need heroes, and will not let any Patron sponsor more than half a month.There isn’t any Dragon corporation or any Dragon bank account, and organizers like that simplicity. So to keep this simple, Patrons simply send a $25 check to Village Mini Storage.
The Dragon, prepping for the big night out.
To become a Dragon Patron, just email in your contact info to info@towndock.net, and then we will email back confirmation and instructions on where to mail your Patron check. Your name, or your business name, can be listed as a Dragon Patron.Thank you – all the Dragon Patron slots are full.
