The 2022 Rotary Duck Race has crossed the finish line with 11 winning ducks taking top honors. In front of a large flock of enthusiastic onlookers who cheered the slow-moving ducks meandering their way down the Mad River at the Lareau Swim Hole in Waitsfield. The ducks who quacked the top 10 prizes were:
$1000 - Al and Jane Hobart; $500 - Kerry Fingland; $250 - Pam Lerner; $50 - Sara Cleaver; $50 - Tim O'Donnell; $50 - Kimberly Lowrance; $50 - Carolyn Rowley; $50 - Danyel Rodgers; $50 - Betsy Norman; $50 - David Welch.
The 11th-place duck and winner of a roll of "duck " tape was Ruth Sinanian. Just over $17,000 was raised by this annual event to benefit local nonprofit events and organizations through the Rotary Club's local grant program.
