Werner Beier of Port Angeles had the winning duck and won a new Toyota truck from Wilder Toyota.
Daly Richardson's duck came in second to earn two thousand dollars cash and Roger Helgeson won third prize good for 15-hundred dollars cash. The cash prizes were donated by Seven Cedars Casino.
Am Den Construction won a thousand dollars in the Very Important Duck race. That race features mostly corporate donors who purchased large duck packages and received a larger rubber duck to float in the preliminary race.
