A cheering crowd watched ducks rush toward the Pootatuck and splash into the water at shortly past 2:30 pm Saturday, May 24. The first 20 ducks to cross a finish line established downstream were the race winners. This year's annual duck race included a town festival of vendors, music, family-friendly events, charitable collections, and demonstrations, among other attractions filling Sandy Hook Center Saturday morning and into the afternoon.
