CLIFFORD –The Rotary Club of Clifford and the Clifford and District Horticultural Society put on a Trees and Quackers event on April 27 at Old Rotary Park in Clifford from 11am to noon. After a tree planting, families huddled under a covered walking bridge to escape the rain and to watch the rubber flock bob its way down the creek in a race to the finish line. Proceeds from ticket sales will go to park maintenance. Ticket holders with the winning ducks were: Ashleigh Rock, Jim Hope, Reid Tryssenaar, Brenda Gilstorf, Margie McKenzie, Carolyn Lema, Eleanore Gerber, Olivia Yeman, and Dave and Pam Turton, who had the “most considerate duck.”
