Year of the Dragon Yes, by now everyone knows that O’Dowd is celebrating its 60th anniversary in the Year of the Dragon. But did you know that it was exactly 60 years ago that we last had a “Black Water Dragon?” The mightiest of the signs, the Dragon occupies the 5th position in the Chinese Zodiac, and there are five different Dragons: Black Water Dragon (Years 1952 and 2012); Metal Dragon (Years 1940 and 2000); Wood Dragon (Years 1904 and 1964); Fire Dragon (Years 1916 and 1976); and Earth Dragon (Years 1928 and 1988).
