CLIFFORD - The Clifford Rotary Club and the Clifford and District Horticultural Society annually team up to present Trees and Quackers each spring in the Rotary Park in Clifford.

On April 27, rubber ducks were released into Coon Creek and floated to the finish line to be caught in the net.

Nine ducks were declared winners with a first prize of $200 going to Carolyn LeMay. Gerald Hattle, Earle Kavelman, Vic Palmer, Al Rams, Adam Squires, Nathan Coulas and William VanSickle each won $75 and the “most considerate duck” earned $75 for Clodagh Mullan.

Earlier, attendees planted seedlings in the park and took some home to plant as well.

The horticultural society will be hosting a plant and bake sale on May 10 at the Rotary Memorial Pavilion.
