Onlookers patiently await the arrival of the slow-moving ducks near the finish line of the 30th annual Duck Race. Sarah Dondo, Zephrya Korogonas and Sue Kingdon won the prizes of $1000, $300 and $200 respectively. Their ducks – Janice, Quack and Sue – came across the line in one hour and 22 minutes.
