The Optimist Club of Mildmay-Carrick held its 20th “Annual Duck Race” on Easter Sunday, April 5, 2015. Conditions were favourable on Otter Creek as the 500 ducks wended their way through Mildmay’s Rotary Park. Teresa Huber’s “lucky duck” crossed the finish line first and earned her the big prize of $250.00. Winners of $100.00 each were the ducks that came in 100th, 200th, 300th, 400th and 500th. Claiming these prizes were Tom Smith, Lily Huber, Betty Siegner, Chris Speers and Todd & Jen Fortney & Family. (Sometimes it pays to finish last!) And there were 15 lucky winners of $50.00 each for every “25th” duck (ie. 25th, 50th, 75th, etc.). Happy recipients of these prizes included Verlaine Stark, Dylan Stuy, Nash King, Mark Kraemer, Gerry Bross, Ross & Nora Howe, Allison Bross, Kevin Gutscher, Chris Grahl, Caleb Grubb, Chip & Susan Bross, Irene Kain, Lauren Grubb, Scott & Carrie Girdler and Morley & Lorraine Fischer. Congratulations to all of the lucky winners, and to the Optimists for staging another successful “race”!
