The Duck Race returned in 2024 as the Optimist Club took the reins from the Conservation Club and ran the event for the first time in four years. The event was a sell out! Due to the hard work of our members in promoting the event in the run up to Canal Days, and the generosity (and, let’s be frank) greed of the ticket buyers. We jest!
All funds raised from ticket sales were gratefully received, and will help the Optimist Club continue to provide the community events and programs that entertain and help so many. This year sees some new programs and initiatives that we could not have launched without your contributions and commitment. Thank you all! How much prize money was won on the day? A lot. There were three prizes, first was $1500. It’s fair to say that someone had a really good weekend.
A little late (sorry about that), please find below a selection of images from the day to remind us all of the fun we had on the day. In my case, from the boat collecting the ducks.
The Optimist Club hopes to see you all again in 2025 when the ducks race again, and when you will have another oppportunity to win big and just enjoy yourselves in the company of friends and neighbours.
