Keyport Liquor On Board Again! 
Mark KasperMark Casper, owner of Keyport Liquor on Belknap Avenue in Superior is a Rotarian and a huge supporter of the Lake Superior Dragon Boat Festival.  His team has been the donation leader for the past three years, and  Mark credits his employees and customers for making this happen. 
Nonetheless, each year brings new challenges in fund raising.  He advises team sponsors to find an outgoing, competitive person to lead their team.  Mark also recommends Dragon Boating to other business owners as a wonderful team building event, that builds lasting relationships with customers, and is fun for employees.  Cheers to the Keyport Krew!
