The 2012 Estes Park Duck Race was a huge success and a wonderful day of fun and hard work. We started at 7:30 with breakfast then got busy selling ducks until the start of the race at 1 p.m. The total number of ducks sold this year was 5713 with over 600 prizes awarded. The weather couldn't have been more delightful and the river was fast enough to carry the first duck to the finish line in just under an hour. The Rotary Club of Estes Park will be giving back well over $100,000 to the participating local charities.
