Ducks Over the Dam Race - Fishtown Raffle 2008
July 21st, 2008A familiar sight in Fishtown, ducks often travel along the upper sections of the Leland River. Early in the season, a few mother ducks shock onlookers by training their ducklings to “shoot the rapids” over the dam.
In honor of these brave young ducks, FPS hosted a “Ducks over the Dam Race.” We launched the ducks in Fishtown during Janice Sue's Birthday Celebration on August 8th.
Duck #55 was the winner of this snail-paced race. Congratulations to Miah McCallister! -- you can see Miah pictured with her duck trophy on the August 4th's Leland Report.
Where's my duck? Come see if your duck made it across the finish line by going to the Fishtown Preservation Society office (located at 203 E. Cedar Street, inside the Leelanau Historical Society Museum)
