PORT ANGELES — Forty people won prizes in the main race at the 30th annual Great Olympic Duck Derby.
The contest on Sunday drew about 1,000 people who watched as 29,159 ducks were dumped into the Lincoln Park pond and floated to the finish line.
The first 40 yellow rubber ducks to cross that line won prizes for their “adopted” owners.
Proceeds from sales for the duck race benefit the Olympic Medical Center Foundation, which has given more than $4.8 million to, or on behalf of, Olympic Medical Center (OMC) during the past 10 years.
