The Merrill Lions hosted the Fourth Annual Rubber Duck Race on Crazy Daze. Almost 2,000 rubber ducks made their way down the beautiful Prairie River at Stange’s Park.
The winners were as follows: first place, Randy Close who won $300, second place for $150 went to Brian Marnholtz and in third place was Becky Hinner for $75. Nine ducks were drawn at random for $25 each: Ali Bohman, Jenny Rice, Sandy King, Scott Waid, Jan Tesch, Al Oscarson, Beth Kautz (twice) and Ron Piffl. The last place duck also was a winner and belonged to Lorena Sosnovske, who won $25.
The Merrill Lions raise money to give back to the Merrill Community for such worthy causes as MHS scholarships, DARE, Park City Gardens, Kids Backpacks, Merrill Life Line and other important local needs. The Merrill Lions thank all the duck raffle ticket purchasers for their support.
