Ducktona600

This year’ s Duck to na 600( named for the 600 yellow plastic ducks that floated down the river) was a resounding success.

Countryside Pharmacy and Bethany’s Williams Design Studio helped to sell the tickets.

While the ducks are back in storage for this year, plans have already started for next year’ s event. The year 2017 will mark the 150 th anniversary of Canada’s founding as well as the 60th anniversary of the founding of the O me me eL ions Club.
