Winners of Tri-Mountain Lions Club Duck Race

Colorful ducks bob along the calm waters of the West River during the Duck Derby fundraiser.

Following Londonderry’s Fourth of July Parade, more than 400 ducks participated in the Duck Derby fundraiser sponsored by the Londonderry Tri-Mountain Area Lions Club.

  • First-place duck #212, which was sponsored by Homestead Landscaping, earned $200 for Marcia Camp of South Londonderry.
  • Terry Merrow of Londonderry won $150 for second-place duck #198, which was sponsored by Winhall Real Estate.
  • Third-place winner Justin Stevens of Lawton, Okla., took home $75 with lucky duck #250, which was purchased by his grandmother, Lion Randee Keith.

The Lions Club is grateful to everyone who supported this event by purchasing ducks.

You cannot have a Duck Race without someone getting wet! Volunteer duck retrievers Wyatt, Maverick, Jace and Archer assisted Lion Bill Nichols at the start and finish lines.

The Lions are also grateful to Bev Jelly and Judy Platt for the use of their parking lots to stage the Duck Race.
