Hastings Y Duck Race Fun For the Whole Family
Posted: 08/30/10 22:14 It was a "quacktastic" day of family fun yesterday at Chautauqua Park. Hundreds enjoyed games, entertainment, booths, and food as the Hastings Y held the annual Duck Days fundraiser.
Michael Krings, CEO of the Y, said this is their way of saying thanks to the community for the support of the Y.
Four thousand rubber ducks were adopted by community members and they all got dumped into the Hastings Aquacourt's Lazy River. The duck that crossed the finish line first carried a hefty cash prize.
Pat Drummond won $7,000 for having the fastest duck.
The slowest duck also won someone a prize; ice cream for a year.
This was the 13th year for the Duck Race. |

Melon Roasters Car Show Brings Hundreds to Brickyard Park
Posted: 08/30/10 00:19 The Melon Roasters Car Show returned to Brickyard Park yesterday with plenty of power. Cars of all types lined the sidewalks in the park for four hours in the afternoon. Organizer Steve Cropley said the great rides really rolled in with about 200 cars in the show.
This is the first year for the reborn Melon Roasters Show. In the 80's and 90's Brickyard Park would have 300 cars. They hope to once again get that many.
Cropley says they have the plans in motion for next year.
Around a dozen vendors and quite a few sponsors helped to make the show possible. |
