Send us a textDiscover the remarkable story behind the Mississippi Dragon Boat Festival, a new event coming to the Quad Cities waterfront that blends ancient tradition with a compassionate purpose.At the heart of it is Lexi Doxsee, Communications and Event Manager at Cancer Support Community of Iowa & NW Illinois at Gilda's Club. She has been instrumental in bringing this vision to life, weaving together cultural celebration and community spirit into an inaugural fundraiser that reflects both her creativity and her passion for helping others.Dragon boat racing is more than just a spectacle. With teams paddling in unison to the beat of a drummer, it's a powerful metaphor for the strength found in community and the resilience of those facing cancer. One of the most moving parts of the festival will be the inclusion of a boat of cancer survivors among the competing teams—an inspiring symbol of courage and unity.Beyond the races, visitors can expect food vendors, craft booths, and family activities at Westlake on September 20th. It's an event designed not only to raise support for vital services but also to bring people together in celebration, healing, and hope.Lexi's personal journey in the nonprofit sector reflects her deep love for the Quad Cities and its people. She has seen firsthand how businesses, volunteers, and neighbors consistently step up to ensure no one faces cancer alone. The Mississippi Dragon Boat Festival is the latest example of that spirit in action—and a testament to Lexi's vision and dedication.Join the fun and fundraising on September 20, 2025 at West Lake for this unique celebration of community, courage, and compassion. As Lexi reminds us, the Quad Cities is a place where community is always stronger than cancer.Learn more about the Mississippi Valley Dragon Boat Festival hereConnect with CSC on social:FacebookLinkedInYouTube - CSCYouTube - CSC Iowa & NW ILInstagramQC, That's Where is a podcast powered by Visit Quad Cities.

Andy celebrates yet another Victory Monday coming out of the holiday weekend as he joins Brendan! to recap Brian Campbell's second playoff win of 2025. The two discuss the John Deere Classic and how Campbell is being positioned as an "anti-rollback" hero by winning twice as one of the shortest hitters on the PGA Tour. They also chat about other contenders in the Quad Cities with Max Homa showing glimpses of good form and Matt Kuchar sharing more wisdom with young players late on a summer Sunday. Kevin Roy, son of Patrick, turned to the platform formerly known as Twitter to defend himself against Joseph LaMagna about a rules issue on Saturday, leaving Andy and Brendan to wonder what all the fuss was about. PJ chimes in with some conspiracy theories regarding Aldrich Potgieter's mysterious withdrawal before the episode turns to the DP World Tour and author Dan Brown's latest win. Just in time for Coffee Golf season, Brown has returned to the winner's circle and will surely play a prominent role at Royal Portrush in a few weeks. Brendan and PJ are also giddy about the latest star from the Tartan Tour, Chris Maclean. Elsewhere overseas, Lottie Woad won the KPMG Women's Irish Open by six shots, her first win in a professional event. Andy and Brendan debate whether she should take her LPGA Tour card this year once she earns enough points, or play out her senior season at FSU next spring. In news, Lucas Glover is ready for the Scottish Open and is glad no LIV players received an invite, and the new FedEx Cup payout structure has been revealed.

It's a throwback audio episode with Brendan using his Airpods after finding himself in a travel delay. Nevertheless, Andy is on cloud nine over on Westy Island after Lee Westwood qualified for this month's Open Championship at Royal Portrush. The two reminisce about Westy's t-4 performance and stand-up morals at the 2019 Open before running through the rest of the 2025 qualifiers from overseas. They are particularly chuffed by Richard Teder, a 20-year-old from Estonia who holed out for eagle in a playoff to secure his spot at Portrush. Andy wonders if Dick Teder is the first player in a new generation of golfers - the Rory (Sabbatini) generation. LIV's 2026 schedule was leaked and the league won't make a stop in the United States until mid-May. Brendan and Andy run through the dates and the travel plans needed to play at majors throughout the world, such as going from Spain to Shinnecock Hills for the U.S. Open. From there, it's time for some lock-hammer-fire picks for the John Deere Classic at TPC Deere Run. The "Champion House" is back and is sure to be catnip for the entirety of the week. It's the strongest field in tournament history and there's no better example of that than Rickie Fowler returning to the Quad Cities for the first time since 2010. Andy shares a little 2010 time capsule to contextualize how long its been since Rickie played the Deere and gets Brendan to sing along to some Ke$ha on a Tuesday afternoon. In news, Adam Schupak reported that numerous PGA Tour legends are unhappy that they've been cut out of the new equity program coming as part of the PGA Tour Enterprises company. 36 former players will receive money based on a "career points" system that prioritized PGA Tour wins and starts, leaving European stars like Tony Jacklin and Nick Faldo on the outside looking in. They are, predictably, unhappy and voiced their displeasure to Golfweek, leading to a lengthy discussion from Andy and Brendan.
