During the recent Green River High School Class Reunion for the classes of 1979 and 1980, members of Boy Scout Troop 719 could be found splashing about in the Green River, nets in hand, making sure they caught the ducks that just a few minutes earlier they had let go further upstream.
About 120 western themed rubber duckies made their way down the river to the cheers of those classmates who had purchased them in an attempt in a win a prize.
Those watching would hear people "Here they come" as the troop lifted the net and let the ducks free.
Then there was a blur of running boys as they hurried to beat the ducks downstream so that they could catch them with their nets.
It was obvious that the troop was having a lot of fun making sure they caught each and every duck with their nets; and to note which duck came in which place. They, then had to go back to the start of the race to free the ducks, which had become caught in a small whirlpool. One of those ducks got caught in a whirlpool and continued circling around. It never made it to the finish line, but the owner of that duck received a prize for coming in last.
Half of the proceeds of the duck race were given to classmate Mark Mandros, who was in a recent accident. The reunion committee and all of those attending would like to thank the Boy Scouts for making the event such a success.
