A huge crowd turned out to cheer on the Kirkcudbright Rotary Club 10th Annual Duck Race on Sunday 27th August 2017.
The large crowd which gathered for this fun event saw a record number of entries in both the small duck and the larger Corporate Duck races.
In all just under 2,000 plastic ducks were released into the water. The ducks were recovered by the town’s Sea Cadets.
The winner of the small duck race was Mollie Wilkinson from Cheshire with first place in the Corporate Race going to Kirkcudbright’s Donald Haining. Immediately prior to the Races a “beauty parade” was held for the Corporate Ducks with judging carried out by Mary Olsen from Northumberland, who arrived for the Vintage Car Rally in her white Morris Minor.
This year the best decorated duck prize went to Deborah entered by the Selkirk Arms.
A total of just under £5,000 was raised which will be spent on a variety of projects to assist the young people of the the town
