The tradition lives on as yet another successful duck race took place in Sutter Creek this last Saturday. In picture perfect weather, attendees from miles around gathered together to cheer on  plastic ducks as they lazily made their way through the town’s namesake. Prizes totaling in over $14,000 dollars were awarded to race winners, but the majority of the profits made from duck purchases went to benefit selected non-profit organizations. Along with the standard swimmers, a number of creative ducks sponsored by businesses were featured. Families showed up for live music, food, and to cheer on a popular local tradition since 1988.
