River Fest Special Edition, April 23, 2005 2005 marks the second annual River Fest Rubber Ducky Race. This year, the Lions Club has asked for help from the Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and Venture Scouts to sell the little critters. Purchasers of the $1.00 children's ducks are encouraged to paint or otherwise person- alize the ducks; just DO NOT paint over the serial number on the bottom. Prizes for the $1.00 ducks are: 1st – a large raft, 2nd – a medium raft, 3rd – a fun surprise. Ducks are available for purchase by adults and businesses at $5.00 and $25.00, respec- tively. Prizes are based on a percentage of total sales. Ducks will be on sale until April 22. All ducks must be delivered to Hawkins Park by 12:00 noon on April 23, the day of the race. The race will begin at 3:30 p.m. Proceeds from the duck races will benefit the Lion’s chartered youth organizations and projects. Ducks may be purchased at the Black Bear Coffee Company (formerly Vernonia Mercantile) and Triple S Saw Shop, or by call- ing Adam Hahn at 503-429-9306, Kinnell Steward at 503-429-8133, Tera Roberts at 503-429-6006 or Greg/Sandy Bevans at 503- 429-2122.
