What a beautiful sunny September afternoon to watch 2,000 little yellow ducks bob their way to the shore at Skene's Landing on the Wabigoon River. The first five to arrive were lucky winners for these ticket buyers:
1. $5,000 - Sheila Krahn
2. $1,500 - Ann Tkachyk
3. $1,000 - Dwight Forsythe
4. $500 - Lloyd Williams
5. $250 - Stacey Rae
The other big winner of the day was Dryden's Special Olympic athletes as all the money raised in the Lucky Duck Race is going to support their activities.
Thanks to Dryden Rotarians, the OPP (for the BBQ), City of Dryden, Canada Safeway and RCB (for the food and drinks), and the Dryden Special Olympics for an amazing event. Much appreciation to Lotto One and the Wabigoon Lake Store for selling Lucky Duck Race tickets.
And a big thank you to everyone who bought tickets or came down to the Landing to cheer the ducks on.
