CLIFFORD – Once again the Clifford Rotary Club hosted its annual Trees and Quackers duck race, a 35-year tradition in town that raises funds the club then allocates to local initiatives. About 400 ducks took part in the race that saw a very slow sprint over the finish line. Spectators could purchase a duck for $10 and prizes were allotted to the finishers.
