1st annual DUCK RACE in Jackson City Park.

Ducks being dumped into Hubble Creek Two hundred plus ducks "floating" to finish. Some ducks needed a little guidance. Dipping out lucky # 13, the winning duck.

We finally got the race in. Scheduled for March but with what seemed like constant rain and flooding, the LNO dumped the ducks in Hubble Creek located in the Jackson City Park on the evening of May 12th.  Lucky Number 13 was the winning duck and it's sponsor won $100.  The remaining of the proceeds will go to the Susan G Komen for the Cure foundation.
