Spring is here! Well, that’s what one would think after the great weekend we had. You all know that spring brings the ducky races to Pointe au Baril.
Yes, it’s time for the annual Ducky Race on Saturday, April 3. The race starts at noon at the Government docks, but come early. There will be bake sales and draw tables also.
Ducks are only $5 and can be purchased at the Pointe au Baril Shell Station, St. Amant’s in Britt or the Parry Sound Snowmobile District office in Parry Sound. The first duck across the finish line will be worth $1,000, second is $300 and third $100.
Also the first 10 Children’s (12 and under) duck will win a prize. All proceeds from this event go to better trails. Buy your duck early and buy often.
Lottery dreams do come true. Well not for me, but for one of our local ladies. It was so nice to hear somebody you know win $25,000. Congratulations Edith we all were so happy for you.
