The 2024 Great Olympic Peninsula Duck Derby Winner(s) plural were John and Sarah Aten of Port Angeles. Their new 2024 Toyota Corolla from Wilder Auto in Ruby Red is a “nice treat” said John Aten. But his wife Sarah will drive it mostly as they have other autos in the family. Every year the family buys the big package for $350 which includes one entry in the VID race and 60 other duck entries in the main race of pluck a duck from a truck. Note that “their” VID duck is labeled JETS. The four letters stand for the four members of their family - John, Elora (a teen), Tim (also a teen) and Sarah. It's their family code, they often use. Sarah said this is all “so cool”. dlogan
