Show 24 FIESTA DAYS 2007 Looking for Lucky Ducks Race Amy Baum STAFF WRITER This year marks the third annual Spanish Fork Fire Fighters Associations duck race. This vejy successful, high-energy and fast-paced race raises funds that our local fire fighters put to very good use. Over the past few years, the funds have helped to provide valuable training for our fire department. The funds help the fire department sponsor one young man and one young woman for Boys and Girls State. In addition, during the month of December, the fire department is very generous with its funds by helping several families in nee<l through the holiday season. This last year some of the money was also used to retrofit and upgrade the Fire Fighters Memorial at the cemetery. You can help to support all of this by adopting a duck. A five-dollar donation will give you the chance to win $ 1,000 if your duck takes first, $500 for second place, $300 for third and $200 for fourth place. If your-duck comes in very last, and some say i' best, you will receive $100. On top of that, several "lucky ducks" will be randomly plucked from the finish line winning various other prizes. You can "adopt" as many ducks as you would like, increasing your chances of winning. They are available for adoption ".during the first three •/', nights of our famous ripsnortin' rodeo, all nights at the carnival, and the very popular movie in the park. Just look for a local fire fighter. Then, for all of you procrastinators, you can try to get your hands on a ticket at the fire station before and during our Fiesta Days parade.
