Were you there for the First Annual Duck Race?  It was an exciting event as the ducks were launched in Mill Creek!  Onlookers lined the banks of Mill Creek to watch the ducks as first one and then the other took the lead.  The "duck herders" followed at the end keeping all the ducks moving through the snags and eddies .  This made the race more exciting as the snagged ducks were freed to zoom ahead.  Cheering and shouts could be heard along the bank.  Nothing was certain until the end when all the ducks finally made it to the finish line at the edge of the lake.

The Fourth Annual Duck Race Was Held Labor Day Weekend 2010!  

On September 5th three hundred and twenty-five ducks were released into Mill Creek opposite Stewarts for the 3rd Annual Duck Race.  There was plenty of water in the creek this year so the ducks raced quickly to the finish with lots of cheering from along the sidelines.

The winners of this year's race were:

First Place:  Jane Whitehouse $100
Second Place:  Anne Gregson $75
Third Place:  Sue Jones $50
